Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.

Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.

Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.

      Wouldn’t at all surprise me if the judge imposes a huge punitive fine at the end of all this and explains to Trump that he had nobody to blame but himself. If he’d been respectful to the court then punitive fine would have been $0, but because of his inability to keep his trap shut the punitive fine is $$$$$.
