Court leaves Trump gag order in hush money case in effect
CNN — New York’s highest court has declined to hear Donald Trump’s appeal on the gag order in his hush money case, according to a decision list posted Tuesday.
The gag order, issued by Judge Juan Merchan in the criminal case against Trump, remains in effect.
Separately, Trump has asked Merchan to terminate the gag order ahead of his sentencing scheduled for July 11. The disgraced former president was convicted by a jury approved by his own attorneys of 34 counts of business fraud relating to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Kinzinger says Trump doesn't care about the U.S. He only cares about himself and would hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power. Biden praises Kinzinger. This is what putting country before party looks like.

Conservative attorney George Conway has believed Trump will lose big in this case, I am not sure it will be under 6-3 conservative Justices dominant court. We shall see soon.

@Europa
So then your guessing maybe 6 - 3 majority AGAINST trump's coveted decree of immunity?
Indicators now seem the decision is most likely coming Monday morning.

Fubah2,
Not sure about the majority decision coming Monday, but I would suspect that certain part of presidential immunity will grant to Donald Trump. In the case of a total immunity in 6-3 majority decision grant to Trump? It should motivate huge Democrats base turn out in the November ballots, I guess.
And I would also cast doubt that majority of independent voters will agree with the total immunity ruling by the high court.

CNN - In his majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts said that presidents do need immunity for their official acts.
“We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office,” Roberts wrote. “At least with respect to the president’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.”
But, the chief added, not everything is official.
“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law,” Roberts wrote.
“But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”

Now the sentencing of the CONVICTED FELON is going to be delayed until September
As long as it actually happens in September and is a significant sentence - 2 big Q's - then this is actually positive news for Dems, as the jury verdict and sentencing of yetanother CONVICTED REPUBLICAN FELON will occur just weeks before the election - and fresh in the minds of undecided voters!

This is the message to Independent and never Trumpers! For the next 100 days, He did it he owns it!

EXACTLY WHAT I SAY!
Although if true, it's just another case of the wealthy and well to do receiving a different and far more lenient standard of justice than the average man or woman.
Only a moron doesn't understand that any average guy convicted on 34 felony counts would CERTAINLY receive significant prison time.

if chump gets the same measure of justice with sentencing that any other guy would then odds on chump winning plunge
but if the judge decides to go political and be very easy on the wealthy fatbastard where he would not do so for any normal guy then fatbastard is still a convicted criminal but wins the presidency
