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:
You talking to me or the judge?

Do you really want to take on "Trump's Machine"?
It's yuuuuge. And it runs like a well-oiled... Uh... Machine. Kek
And all parts work, I can tell you that.
Sorry. Poor wording. You made a good point. I was trying to say this: How would the judge know it wasn't one of Trumps staff actually making the post, not him? Seems hard to prove.
I think the Judge's point....as he says that Donald Trump is still responsible.
I'm guess this will end in a fine.
So, Republicans are wholly responsible for their entire campaign apparatus but Democrats aren't.
Sounds about right.
