Donald Trump gets hit with bad news after the Supreme Court makes surprising move to reject motion to protect Trump from his legal consequences, aka sentencing in the NY case, made by Trump ally Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey.
“The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a long-shot bid by Missouri to block the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in his New York hush money case.
A Manhattan jury convicted Trump on all 34 felony charges in the case in May, and a judge set sentencing for Sept. 18. But last month, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey — a Republican and Trump ally — filed an unusual set of motions at the Supreme Court asking the justices to postpone the sentencing until after the November election and to lift the gag order the judge imposed in the case.
Missouri’s bid was styled as a lawsuit against New York. Under the Constitution, the Supreme Court has the power to hear disputes between states without those disputes going through lower courts.”
