Judge denies emergency request to stop Trump’s Tulsa campaign rally due to coronavirus fears

A judge on Tuesday denied an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.

The decision came after local lawyers asked the court to block the event unless organizers agreed to take steps to adhere to the administration’s own social distancing recommendations to limit the spread of coronavirus. Paul DeMuro, one of the attorneys on the lawsuit trying to block the rally, said that — despite the emergency motion to block the rally being denied — the case will head to the state Supreme Court.

“The lawsuit is still intact and moving forward,” DeMuro told CNN. “We will continue to fight in the Oklahoma Supreme Court.”
