Trump's appeal of gag order in "hush money" case dismissed by New York's highest court

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.
