A condition petition that would have temporarily barred New York Judge Juan Merchan from sending former president Donald Trump’s sentence until after the November election was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. Additionally, the former president’s gag order would have been put on hold as a result of the complaint.
In an effort to pause Trump’s punishment for the criminal charges the former senator was found guilty of in May, Missouri’s Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a complaint against the state of New York in July. Trump was found guilty of allegedly falsifying business data on 34 felonies. Trump has repeatedly refuted the charges, despite the former president’s repeated accusations that he lied about covering up a hush cash payment made to pornstar Stormy Daniels.
The Supreme Court ruled in a quick attempt on Monday that” Missouri’s movement for primary pleasure or a keep is denied.” The action for filing the complaint may be granted by Justice Thomas and Justice Alito, but no other relief would be granted.
The Supreme Court’s decision allows Merchan to move ahead with Trump’s imprisonment. However, according to Fox 59, Merchan delayed a judge’s request to wait until September 16 to hear a decision regarding the Supreme Court’s decision regarding political immunity. Prior to now, the decision was scheduled for September 6, with the former president’s sentencing set for September 18.
Bailey argued in his petition against New York that the former president’s legal prosecution constituted a First Amendment infringement on Missouri residents ‘ ability to “hear from and support their preferred presidential candidate.”

Following Monday’s decision, Bailey criticized the Supreme Court for failing to “exercise its legal duty” and threatened to take more action against the Biden-Harris government’s trial of Trump.
