Donald Trump refused to take down a post attacking the law clerk of the judge overseeing his bank fraud trial in New York—blatantly violating the court’s gag order—and lawyers on both sides have just been notified that hell is nigh.
The New York Attorney General’s Office and the former president’s defense lawyers were told late Thursday that the issue will come up Friday morning in court, according to a source with knowledge of those discussions.
Trump put up a post on Truth Social. And it also went up on this campaign website. It was taken down on Truth Social, but it was never taken down on his campaign website.
Judge Engoron threatens Donald Trump with PRISON for violating his gag order. Trump didn't remove the Truth Social post berating Engoron's staff from his campaign website.
He just opened court with this:
I'm confused about this as to how can there be a gag order imposed on POTUS Trump when the trial is being televised??
None of this makes sense to me?
It's not supposed to make sense. Thats my take.
Just to give them an Avenue to attack. Boomerang should be exceptional when it comes back around.
Especially when there is no jury. The entire point of a gag order is so that a jury can't be influenced outside of court. No jury, why does it matter what he says? It's complete bullshit. I hope they try to put him in jail for this. Maybe that's the spark we need to burn this entire corrupt system down.
The trial is not being televised. This is the NY civil suit for fraud.
Gag orders can take place in televised trials. It usually means you can only discuss stuff in court.
This is what the judge said two weeks ago
Thank you for clarifying this for me. I haven't been paying closely attention to the separate trials and was confused about which one this was for.
np.
I think only the GA case will be televised and that won't start for a while.
So glad that many on here are keeping track and know about the trials.
I appreciate all the knowledge that exits here at GAW.
Did anyone else spot this...
The so-called "gag order" is not a court order. It's just a statement by the beak, which has no legal consequence.The hooha is all theatre.
You misunderstand that. That was just him talking from the bench.
He did file a gag order

You seem to misunderstand that this isn’t a constitutionally operating court. This whole charade is political warfare, terroristic in nature. These anti American anti constitutional terrorists are destroying our country with this clown show. They are violating Trumps civil rights and the rights of every single one of his supporters. This is election interference and much worse, treason. Death to them all. Your attempt to give them credence as some sort of law abiding court is laughable. It might even be funny if it wasn’t such an egregious flaunting of actual law and civil rights. Weaponized lawfare with communist infiltrated judges and lawyers. GTH.
Keeping track of these cases is a bit much. Can we just merge into one star chamber tribunal?
