The appeal, filed with the New York Court of Appeals, challenges Judge Juan Merchan&#8217;s order, which Trump argues \u2063violates his First Amendment rights. The move follows a lower appeals court decision in the ongoing case.

His appeal, submitted\u200d to the\u200c New York Court of Appeals, disputes Judge Juan Merchan&#8217;s order, claiming it infringes on his First Amendment rights. This action comes after a previous decision by a lower appeals court in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-gag-order-put-on-hold-as-washington-judge-weighs-appeal\/\" title=\"Trump's gag order temporarily halted as judge considers appeal.\">ongoing\u200c legal proceedings<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> has again appealed the gag order placed on him restricting what he can say about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-top-five-moments-of-ben-shapiros-speech-at-fsu\/\" title=\"WATCH: Top Five Moments Of Ben Shapiro\u2019s Speech At FSU\">ongoing criminal trial<\/a> in New York over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-charges-brought-against-the-trump-organizations-cfo-part-of-a-witch-hunt-experts-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Are The Charges Brought Against The Trump Organization\u2019s CFO Part Of A Witch Hunt?

The order prevents the former president from talking about jurors, attorneys, court staff, and the judge\u2019s family, which Trump says violates his First Amendment rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPresident Trump has filed a notice to appeal the unconstitutional and un-American gag order imposed by conflicted Judge Juan Merchan in the lawless Manhattan DA case,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/donald-trump-gag-order-appeal-new-york-1901286\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe threat to throw the 45th President of the United States and the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election in jail for exercising his First Amendment rights is a Third World authoritarian tactic typical of crooked Joe Biden and his comrades,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump has been in court for the last several weeks facing 34 falsification of business records charges and has been so far limited on what he can say about the case.
