Trump Ordered To Shut Up Or Face 30 Days Behind Bars

deadline.com:

Donald Trump has been told to watch what he says and posts, or risk ending up behind bars for up to a month. In the second day of the former POTUS’ financial fraud trial, Judge Arthur Engoron Tuesday just issued a limited gag order against everyone in the civil case to stop verbal and social media posted swipes at members of his staff.   “Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate” the very unhappy Judge made clear of after Trump took an underhanded partisan swing at Engoron’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield on his Truth Social platform.

Calling what Trump did, “a disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff,” the judge only cited “one of the defendants” as the one behind the post — but there was no secret who he was referring to.

The now deleted post showed Greenfield in a picture standing next to current Senate Majority leader and fellow New Yorker Chuck Schumer and calls her “Schumer’s girlfriend.” A Trump specialty, the partisan taint has been a common tactic during the prosecution of the case by the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat.

With his long history of going on the offence, today is remarkably the first time any judge has put the restraints of a gag order on the combative Trump, who is in attendance for the second day in a row at the trial.
