Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas broke with the majority of the Supreme Court on Monday in a ruling that prevented the state of Missouri from suing the state of New York over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May and, if there are no other delays, will be sentenced in September. Trump's trial hasn't shown to have a huge impact on his ability to win the election this year, but Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey argued that the gag order and sentencing occurring before the election infringes on the rights of Missouri voters.
