New York Supreme Court Justice Cynthia Kern on April 9 rejected a motion from attorneys for former President Donald Trump to hold off on a trial until he had a chance to appeal a gag order.
“This application for an interim stay of the proceedings pending resolution of the Article 78 proceeding is denied without prejudice to any determination by the full bench,” the judge ruled, ordering briefs to be submitted by April 15, the start of the trial. An Article 78 proceeding is a lawsuit to challenge a judge’s action.
The ruling came a day after New York Supreme Court Justice Lizbeth González rejected a separate request to hold off on a trial while the defense sought a change of venue.
“The First Amendment harms arising from this gag order right now are irreparable,” defense attorney Emil Bove argued.
President Trump is being prosecuted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on 34 counts of falsifying business records, related to an alleged payment scheme to kill negative news stories during the 2016 presidential election cycle.
