美国联邦最高法院当地时间5日驳回了密苏里州要求解除前总统特朗普在“封口费”案中“禁言令”的请求。这一决定意味着特朗普在相关案件审理期间仍需遵守纽约州法院的“禁言令”。
据中新社报道，密苏里州总检察长贝利向最高法院提起诉讼，要求在大选前解除对特朗普的“禁言令”，理由是该命令限制了共和党总统候选人特朗普在竞选期间的言论自由，可能会影响选民对共和党候选人的了解。然而，纽约州总检察长詹姆斯表示，“禁言令”并不限制特朗普就选民关心的议题发表评论，且该案件由纽约州法院审理，与密苏里州无直接冲突，因此最高法院不应在此时介入。
今年3月，主审特朗普“封口费”案的法官梅尔尚对特朗普发布了“禁言令”，禁止其在案件审理期间攻击证人、检察官和陪审员。今年5月，纽约一家法院的陪审团裁定特朗普34项重罪指控成立，指控他通过伪造商业记录的方式试图掩盖2016年总统选举前向一名女演员支付13万美元的“封口费”。
最高法院的这一决定可能会对特朗普的竞选活动产生影响，同时也反映了美国司法系统在处理政治人物案件时的复杂性。特朗普的律师团队可能会就此决定提出进一步的法律挑战，而此案的后续发展将继续受到国内外媒体的广泛关注。

News Title: “U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Missouri’s Request to Lift Trump’s Gag Order in Payment-Gateway Case”
Keywords: Rejected, Trump, Gag Order
News Content: The U.S. Supreme Court on May 5th rejected a request by Missouri to lift a gag order against former President Trump in a case involving a payment-gateway dispute. This decision means that Trump must still abide by the gag order issued by a New York state court during the ongoing case.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court, seeking to lift the gag order before the election, arguing that the order restricted the freedom of speech of the Republican presidential candidate, Trump, during his campaign and could affect voters’ understanding of the Republican candidate. However, New York State Attorney General Letitia James stated that the gag order does not restrict Trump’s ability to comment on issues of concern to voters, and that the case is being handled by a New York state court, with no direct conflict with Missouri, therefore the Supreme Court should not intervene at this time.
In March this year, Judge Geoffrey A. Moore issued a gag order against Trump in the payment-gateway case, prohibiting him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, and jurors during the trial. In May, a jury in a New York court found Trump guilty of 34 counts of misconduct, accusing him of attempting to cover up a $130,000 payment to a female actor prior to the 2016 presidential election by falsifying business records.
This decision by the Supreme Court may affect Trump’s campaign activities and reflects the complexity of the American judicial system in dealing with cases involving political figures. Trump’s legal team may seek further legal challenges to this decision, and the future developments of the case will continue to be widely followed by media both domestically and internationally.
