Donald Trump's Gag Order Upheld by New York's Top Court - What Does This Mean for Investors?
By Luc Cohen
In a recent development, New York's top court has upheld a judge's gag order on former U.S. president Donald Trump in a case involving hush money paid to a porn star. Despite Trump's arguments about his right to free speech, the court dismissed his appeal, stating that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.
Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump's campaign, has vowed to continue fighting against what he calls "unconstitutional Witch Hunts and Gag Orders." This decision comes as Trump also faces a gag order in an unrelated federal criminal case in Washington, D.C., related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The gag order, imposed by Justice Juan Merchan, restricted Trump from speaking publicly about court staff, prosecutors, witnesses, and jurors. While some restrictions have been lifted following Trump's conviction on multiple felony counts, he still faces sentencing on Nov. 26.
