Former U.S. President Donald Trump has lost his appeal of a gag order imposed on him during his civil business fraud trial. The New York Court of Appeals dismissed Trump’s challenge, stating that no substantial constitutional question was involved. The court also dismissed his motion to stay the gag order, which likely became irrelevant as the trial concluded. The order had prohibited Trump from publicly discussing the staff of Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron. Trump’s lawyers argued that the order infringed upon his right to free speech. Judge Engoron, who presided over the fraud trial, is expected to deliver a verdict soon. The gag order was initially imposed after Trump criticized Engoron’s principal law clerk during the trial. New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump, alleging that he fraudulently manipulated real estate asset valuations and related financial statements for personal gain. She has asked the court for various sanctions, including a $370 million fine and a lifetime ban on real estate business in the state. Trump has maintained his innocence throughout the case.
