1The SCOTUS handed down a brief order on Monday in Missouri v. New York, without laying out its reasoning, dismissing a motion that asked justices to intervene in former Pres. Donald Trump's hush money case to lift the gag order imposed on him and defer his sentencing.
2Missouri Attorney General Andrew filed the lawsuit against the state of New York on July 3, alleging that the case against the Republican nominee would violate the First Amendment right of Missouri citizens to hear from a presidential candidate.
3Under the US Constitution, the SCOTUS has the so-called original jurisdiction in disputes between states, meaning that it's the lawsuit goes directly to the top court. Such cases are rare but have been seen at least twice since 2020.
