Donald Trump's Attorneys To Seek Gag Order Appeal

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has taken steps to appeal a gag order imposed on him in his hush money trial in New York. After a recent denial by a New York appeals court to lift the gag order, Trump's attorneys have filed court documents indicating their intention to seek review by the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals will have the discretion to decide whether to accept the motion for review. As of Thursday morning, the clerk's office had not yet received the formal appeal filings.
