Former President Donald Trump has announced that his legal team has filed a motion in the appellate division to challenge a gag order issued by NY Judge Juan Merchan, which he claims is unconstitutional. Trump argues that the gag order infringes on his constitutional right to free speech and unfairly targets him as he is currently the only presidential candidate in history to be gagged. He has criticized Judge Merchan, calling him 'corrupt' and the gag order a 'sham'. Trump's team is appealing the decision after a mistrial motion was denied, emphasizing the urgency to return to the campaign trail and stating the case is 'highly unconstitutional'.
