美国联邦最高法院在当地时间8月5日驳回了密苏里州总检察长贝利对前总统特朗普“封口费”案中“禁言令”的请求。此案中，特朗普被指控在2016年总统选举前通过伪造商业记录的方式试图掩盖向一名女演员支付13万美元的“封口费”，面临34项重罪指控。
今年3月，主审此案的法官胡安·梅尔尚对特朗普发布“禁言令”，禁止其就此案攻击证人、检察官和陪审员。密苏里州总检察长贝利认为，这一“禁言令”限制了特朗普在竞选期间的言论自由，会影响密苏里州选民对共和党总统候选人的了解，因此向最高法院提起诉讼。
纽约州总检察长詹姆斯则表示，针对“封口费”案的“禁言令”并不限制特朗普对选民关心的重要议题发表评论，且该案由纽约州法院审理，密苏里州无权干涉。
最高法院的这一决定意味着特朗普在“封口费”案中的“禁言令”将继续有效，特朗普的言论自由并未受到限制。这一裁决也表明，美国联邦最高法院对于州级政府的干预并不持支持态度，强调司法管辖权的独立性。

Title: “Supreme Court Rejects Trump Hush Money Case gag order request”
Keywords: Rejected, Trump, Hush Money
Content: On August 5, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt for a gag order in the hush money case against former President Trump. The case accuses Trump of attempting to cover up a $130,000 payment to a porn star before the 2016 presidential election by falsifying business records, facing 34 felony charges.
In March, Judge Juan Merchan issued a gag order in the case, prohibiting Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, and jurors. Missouri Attorney General Schmitt argued that the gag order limited Trump’s freedom of speech during his campaign and could affect Missouri voters’ understanding of the Republican presidential candidate, leading to a lawsuit filed against the Supreme Court.
New York Attorney General Letitia James stated that the gag order in the hush money case does not restrict Trump from commenting on important issues of concern to voters and that the case is being heard in a New York state court, with no jurisdiction for Missouri to interfere.
The Supreme Court’s decision means the gag order in the hush money case against Trump will remain in effect, and his freedom of speech is not being limited. This ruling also indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court does not support interference by state governments, emphasizing the independence of judicial jurisdiction.
