A New York judge overseeing Donald Trump’s civil fraud case has issued a limited gag order on the indicted ex-president, after the defendant publicly disparaged one of the judge’s law clerks during his trial.
“Consider this statement a gag order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any of my staff,” Judge Arthur Engoron said on Tuesday, the second day of Trump’s trial.
The order came after Trump posted a disparaging claim on Truth Social regarding Engoron’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield. The post included a photo of Greenfield with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
