A New York judge fined former President Trump $5,000 for violating the partial gag order he imposed in the civil trial stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation into the Trump family’s businesses, while warning the 2024 frontrunner that future violations could result in imprisonment.
On October 3, during a break in this trial, defendant Donald Trump posted to his social media account an untrue, disparaging, and personally identifying post about my Principal Law Clerk,' Engoron wrote in a filing Friday, adding that he ordered Trump to remove the post 'immediately.' The post in question was on Trump's Truth Social account, and stated Engoron's law clerk had a relationship with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The post also contained a photo.
'Despite this clear order, last night I learned that the subject offending post was never removed from the website ‘DonaldJTrump.com,’ and, in fact, had been on that website for the past 17 days,' Engoron wrote. 'I understand it was removed late last night, but only in response to an email from this Court.
An appellate ruling from over the summer, which limited James from suing for alleged transactions that occurred before July 13, 2014, or Feb. 6, 2016, depending on the defendant, dismissed Ivanka Trump as a defendant. Trump has blasted James for bringing the lawsuit; for the trial not having a jury; and Engoron, calling him 'corrupt.' 'The Attorney General filed this case under a consumer protection statute that denies the right to a jury,' a Trump spokesperson said.
Chutkan said Monday that the former president is able to criticize the Justice Department in general terms and has the right to post his view that the case against him is politically motivated. However, the judge said Trump cannot post attacks against prosecutors or court staff.
