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?
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.
