The U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 5 rejected a bid by the state of Missouri to delay former President Donald Trump’s sentencing date for his New York felony conviction until after the November election.

The high court, in a one-paragraph and unsigned order, also left intact a gag order that was imposed by the judge in the case. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito indicated that they would have heard the case.
