The Supreme Court has declined to lift the gag order imposed on President-elect Donald Trump in his hush money case.
In a new order list released Monday, the Court denied an application seeking to appeal the gag order set by New York Judge Juan Merchan.
"The application for stay addressed to Justice [Samuel] Alito and referred to the Court is denied," the order list said.
During his trial in New York, Trump was put under a gag order by Merchan. He is prohibited from speaking about jurors, witnesses, prosecutors, court staff or members of their family. It does not bar him from speaking about Merchan or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case against the president-elect. Monday's Supreme Court decision means the gag order is still in place for now.
