Trump Posts Tirade Against Judge and Court Clerk

November 16, 2023 at 10:27 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump went on a tirade against the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial on Thursday, just hours after an appeals court paused a gag order against him that limited what he could say about court staff,” the HuffPost reports.

“Trump had violated the order twice, resulting in $15,000 in fines and warnings from Engoron that any further violations would result in harsh penalties.”
