The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to lift the gag order imposed on Trump in his NYC ‘hush money’ case.
This is the second time the Supreme Court declined to intervene and lift the gag order.
“The Supreme Court on Monday declined to lift a gag order restricting President-elect Donald Trump from making statements about jurors, court staff, and their families in his New York criminal case,” The Washington Examiner reported.
“Justice Samuel Alito handled the denial on behalf of the full court, marking the second time this year the justices have upheld the restrictions. There were no additional comments or notes from the justices, according to an orders list,” The Examiner reported.
Earlier this year Judge Juan Merchan gagged Trump and ordered him to refrain from making any public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case.
Merchan then expanded his gag order against Trump to bar the former president from criticizing his family members.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
In April, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Late last month Judge Merchan delayed Trump’s November 26 sentencing in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ case indefinitely.
Trump’s lawyers a couple of weeks ago filed a motion to dismiss the case.
