Trump's Legal Team Fumbles Gag Order Appeal, Leaving Him Silenced in New York
Former President Donald Trump's request to expedite his appeal of gag orders in the New York fraud trial has been denied by a New York appellate court. Trump's lawyers failed to properly request the appeal and asked a single judge to overrule a four-judge panel. Legal analysts have criticized the lawyers' handling of the case, comparing it to a scene from the movie "Clueless." Trump's team has been focused on the gag orders, wanting someone to blame if he loses the trial. The politics of the situation are seen as a way to appeal to Trump's base and shift blame onto others.
