Trump Rages about Judge and Law Clerk While Gag Order is Paused in New York Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron and his law clerk in a Thanksgiving Day post on his Truth Social platform. Trump accused the judge and the clerk of political bias and corruption, alleging that they criminally defrauded him and the state of New York. This comes in the midst of his $250 million civil fraud trial in New York, where Trump is accused of inflating his wealth on financial statements.

A gag order had previously been imposed on Trump, preventing him from attacking the judge's staff. However, a New York appeals court temporarily blocked the gag order last week after Trump's attorneys argued it was unconstitutional. The pause will continue until at least November 27, when a panel of appeals court judges will consider the issue.

Judge Arthur Engoron had imposed the gag order after Trump made critical comments about his law clerk on social media and to reporters. Engoron argued that Trump and his lawyers were falsely accusing the clerk of bias against them and improper influence on the trial.

The New York Unified Court System has not yet responded to Trump's latest attacks.
