New York Court Upholds Gag Order on Trump Following Felony Conviction

The state's highest court dismissed Trump's appeal, maintaining restrictions on his public comments about trial participants until his sentencing.

The New York Court of Appeals ruled that no substantial constitutional issue warranted lifting the gag order.
The gag order prevents Trump from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and court staff involved in his hush money case.
Trump's defense argued that the gag order infringed on his First Amendment rights during his presidential campaign.
Trump violated the gag order multiple times, resulting in fines and threats of jail time from the judge.
Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention.
