Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.
Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.
Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.
Honestly the only surprising thing gleaned here is the notion that the gag order was actually working in the first place.
It was. The point was to protect the staff, and the less he can talk about them, the safer they were (his base have the attention span of gnats).
