New York's attorney general has urged the Supreme Court to refrain from intervening in the criminal case involving former President Donald Trump's hush money payments. The request comes in response to a novel plea by Missouri's attorney general to halt Trump's sentencing hearing and lift the gag order imposed on him in the case.
Missouri's Attorney General, a Republican, had petitioned the Supreme Court to allow a complaint against New York, arguing that the state was impeding the rights of Missouri voters to hear from presidential candidates. However, New York's Attorney General countered that Missouri's request for relief should be pursued through state courts, not the Supreme Court.
