US court rejects Trump's appeal against gag order in hush money case

Odaily Odaily reported that the New York State Supreme Court rejected former President Trump's appeal against the gag order in his "hush money" criminal case, saying that the gag order "does not directly involve substantive constitutional issues." It is reported that Trump emphasized his status as a presidential candidate in this year's election, arguing that the gag order violated his and his millions of supporters' First Amendment rights. Previously, Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in May this year in the "hush money" case. (Jin Shi)
