The U.S. Supreme Court has once again rejected a bid to lift the gag order barring Donald Trump from making public statements about officials involved in the New York criminal hush-money case that saw the president-elect convicted on dozens of felony charges.

In a Monday order, the high court declined an application that sought to appeal the gag order set by Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan

“The application for stay addressed to Justice [Clarence] Thomas and referred to the Court is denied,” the order states. There were no additional comments or explanations from the justices.
