On June 18, New York's highest court, the New York Court of Appeals, has declined to hear former President Donald Trump's appeal of the limited gag order in his criminal hush money case. The court dismissed the appeal without costs on the grounds that no substantial constitutional question was directly involved. As a result, the gag order remains in effect, barring Trump from making public statements about witnesses, jurors, and court staff involved in the case. This decision leaves the gag order intact as Trump faces ongoing legal challenges.
