JUST IN: New York Appeals Court Upholds Merchan’s Gag Order – Claims Crooked Judge “Properly Weighed” Trump’s First Amendment Rights
A New York Appeals court on Tuesday rejected President Trump’s request to lift crooked Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order.
The appeals court said Merchan “properly weighed” Trump’s First Amendment Rights.
Unbelievable!
“We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner’s First Amendment Rights against the court’s historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases, and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm,” according to the order.
The NY appeals court said Trump’s public statements posed a threat to the integrity of the testimony of witnesses.
“Justice Merchan properly determined that petitioner’s public statements posed a significant threat to the integrity of the testimony of witnesses and potential witnesses in this case as well.”
Merchan has trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights.
