New York's highest court ruled Tuesday that it will not consider former President Donald Trump's challenge to a gag order in the criminal case in which he was recently convicted of 34 felony counts.
The Court of Appeals wrote in a one-sentence decision that the appeal was dismissed "upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved."
Todd Blanche, an attorney for Trump, declined to comment on the decision.
