Judge issues gag order after Trump’s comments on court clerk in civil trial

The second day of Trump's trial got off to another combative start after Trump branded the case a fraud' and scam'

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial issued a gag order on Tuesday after the former president made comments about the judge's clerk.

Consider this statement a gag order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any of my staff," the judge, Arthur Engoron, said on Tuesday afternoon. Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them in any circumstances.
