The Supreme Court has once again declined to remove the gag order placed on President-elect Donald Trump in his hush-money case. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito rejected the request on the courts behalf on Monday.
The application for stay addressed to Justice Alito and referred to the Court is denied, the orders list read, with no additional comments or explanation.
Trump was found guilty in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records regarding hush-money payments he made during his first campaign in 2016 to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, with whom he had an affair.
New York Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order at the start of Trumps trial that banned him from talking about witnesses, jury members, and courtroom staff during the trial. Trump nonetheless violated the order countless times and was fined $9,000 for doing so. He is still fighting to get the felony convictions overturned, claiming his guilty verdict would lead to disruptions to the institution of the Presidency. Merchan has so far refused to toss out the case entirely, instead indefinitely delaying sentencing.

He wants the conviction to go away despite a pause in the sentencing. Not going to happen.

(10,047 posts)that the RepubliCON party and USSC can't hardly wait to get rid of him........They could easily use the 25th Amendment, or once he is installed have the house impeach him in the am, and that same afternoon have the Senate find him guilty.
JD is much easier to control, and wouldn't constantly be ranting about all the nefarious things he is doing along with the RepubliCONs to destroy our Democracy..........
The RepubliCONs could convince the Trumphumper Voters that they needed to evoke the 25th, as Trump was experiencing rapidly advancing dementia, putting the nation in danger as a national security risk......
