Trump Loses Another Appeal To Overturn Gag Order

CNN reports:

Donald Trump’s latest attempt to end the gag order against him in the hush money trial was denied by a New York appeals court on Tuesday.

“We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner’s First Amendment Rights against the court’s historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases, and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm,” according to the order.

“You ask me questions I’m not allowed to respond,” Trump told reporters Tuesday morning before entering the criminal court and before the ruling was issued. “The gag order has to come off.”
