The New York Court of Appeals decided on Tuesday not to hear former President Donald Trump’s gag order appeal; Team Trump immediately blasted the decision.
“President Trump and his legal team will continue to fight against the unconstitutional Gag Order imposed by Justice Merchan,” Trump campaign spox Steven Cheung said.
“The Gag Order wrongfully silences the leading candidate for President of the United States, President Trump, at the height of his campaign. The Gag Order applies only to President Trump and not to any of his political opponents, critics, or even Crooked Joe Biden,” said Cheung.
“The Election Interfering Gag Order violates the First Amendment rights of President Trump and all American voters, who have a fundamental right to hear his message,” he added.
The gag order was originally imposed by Judge Juan Merchan, barring Trump from making or directing others to make public statements about witnesses concerning their potential participation or about counsel in his New York City criminal trial.
The gag order will remain intact until sentencing in July.
