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:
Careful what you wish for
If the choice is to be a slave for the rest of my life to a corrupt system or see the entire thing burn down I'll supply the matches. I don't want to see anyone hurt or see a civil war. I, however, do want to be free and that's more important than being comfortable.
Like nuclear war, it is not something I wish for. Yet the response to putting him in prison (like nuclear war) would be nonproportional and catastrophic. I don't want it to happen. But we're ready if it does.
Ready to do what ?
Ready to survive the nonproportional and catastrophic response, naturally. 🤔😑
