The judge overseeing the civil fraud case once morest Donald Trump imposed a gag order on the former US president, promising to impose sanctions in case of any violation.
The order came following the former US president used social media to criticize the judge’s top law clerk.
New York State Court Justice Arthur Engron in Manhattan told Donald Trump and the New York attorney general’s lawyers who brought the fraud case that the attacks on his staff were unacceptable, inappropriate and would not be tolerated under any circumstances.
During the second day of testimony in the case, the judge barred the parties from talking regarding their staff and warned of serious sanctions if anyone did, adding that the statement was a ‘gag’. Order’ should be considered.
The attorney general charged Donald Trump, his two adult sons, the Trump Organization and others over a decade of inflating assets to get better bank loans and insurance terms and increasing Donald Trump’s wealth by more than $2 billion. Allegedly, the case might lead to the collapse of Donald Trump’s business empire as he seeks re-election in 2024.
The judge’s statement came following the former US president shared a social media post, attributing to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, who is not even involved in the case, that Donald Trump told the court clerk. Said to be ‘Schumer’s girlfriend’.
Donald Trump said in his post that ‘How disrespectful!’ This case should be dismissed immediately’.
The post was later deleted from the social media platform.
It should be noted that in August, former US President Donald Trump was arrested on fraud and conspiracy charges and imprisoned in a Georgia prison and released on $200,000 bail following the historic ‘mug shot’ was taken.
Talking to reporters following his arrest, Donald Trump said that this is a very sad day for America, a mockery of justice has been made here, I have done nothing wrong.
Donald Trump has been indicted four times since April of this year, becoming the first US President in history to face criminal charges, but no mugshots were taken during his previous arrests. .
