<p>The highest court in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> declined to quickly consider former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s appeal of a gag order after his felony conviction last month and before a debate next week.</p>
<p>A list of decisions <a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/Decisions/2024/Jun24/DecisionList061824.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> on Tuesday said the New York Court of Appeals dismissed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-third-world-authoritarian-tactic-trump-turns-to-top-new-york-court-to-appeal-gag-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the appeal</a> &#8220;upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly raised.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, court spokesman Gary Spencer said Trump has a 30-day window to file a motion for leave to appeal, which could lead to the high court eventually taking up the matter, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/18/politics/trump-gag-order-new-york-appeal/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to CNN</a>.</p>
<p>Presiding Judge Juan Merchan barred Trump from commenting publicly on jurors, witnesses, and the judge&#8217;s family, but not the judge himself or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.</p>
<p>Trump faced thousands of dollars in fines and <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-finds-trump-violated-gag-order-threatens-jail-rcna150560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a threat of jail time</a> for speaking out in violation of the gag order that he claimed had infringed upon his First Amendment rights.</p>
<p>A lower appeals court already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/appeals-court-denies-trumps-gag-order-challenge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot down</a> a defense request to lift the order. The AP says <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-attorneys-ask-judge-to-lift-gag-order-ahead-of-presidential-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merchan himself</a> may <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-hush-money-gag-order-juan-merchan-c6e8056bf7b82aaf0bbf094d703b5f31" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soon rule</a> on whether to keep it after a Thursday deadline for prosecutors to respond.</p>
<p>Trump was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up a tryst with adult film star Stormy Daniels for a &#8220;catch-and-kill&#8221; scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election.</p>
<p>Merchan scheduled sentencing for July 11, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rnc-preparing-for-possibility-of-trump-being-in-jail-during-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">days before</a> the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Trump, who denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-guilty-verdict-trial-05-31-24/h_5f39d02456672b825a69b106df7ed682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> to appeal.</p>
<p>Legal experts <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/29/trump-if-convicted-hush-money-trial-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doubt</a> the 78-year-old Trump will end up behind bars, though the Secret Service has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-prepares-for-possibility-of-trump-going-to-jail-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> coordinated with local jail officials just in case. He could get probation.</p>

<p>It remains to be seen whether Trump will continue to be limited in what he can say about the New York case leading up to his appearance at his first 2024 debate against President Joe Biden next week.</p>
<p>Another judge implemented a gag order against Trump in special counsel Jack Smith’s 2020 election case, and federal prosecutors have also <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/14/politics/trump-gag-order-classified-documents-florida/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought</a> one in a Florida classified documents case.</p>
<p>Trump is trying to fend off a fourth criminal matter in Georgia related to the 2020 election. Whether the Georgia or federal cases will reach the trial stage before the 2024 contest is unclear.</p>
