NY judge partially lifts Trump gag order, what does this mean for CNN Presidential Debate?

'Fox News Sunday' host Shannon Bream and Fox News legal editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn weigh in on the Supreme Court's anticipated ruling on former President Trump's immunity claim.

The Supreme Court denied a motion to step in and rule on a lawsuit brought by the state of Missouri that attempted to temporarily block legal proceedings in the case of New York vs. former President Trump.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas said they would have granted the state's request to file a bill of complaint, but would not grant the other relief the state was seeking.

The claim was filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who is a Republican seeking a full term in the seat this fall.

"It’s disappointing that the Supreme Court refused to exercise its constitutional responsibility to resolve state v. state disputes," Bailey said in a post on X. "I will continue to prosecute our lawsuit against @KamalaHarris @JoeBiden’s DOJ for coordinating the illicit prosecutions against President Trump."

Trump was convicted by a New York jury in May of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records.
