He can’t pass judgment to judges but he can certainly post Truths about liberal post-truths.
On Thursday, November 30th, the gag order preventing former President Donald Trump from making comments about court personnel has been reinstated by a New York appeals court. The gag order was initially imposed by trial judge Arthur Engoron in response to derogatory remarks about a law clerk and was temporarily lifted about two weeks ago. This decision follows a temporary hold on the order granted by an individual appellate judge during the ongoing appeals process.
The gag order, imposed on October 3, was a result of Trump’s social media post containing baseless allegations about the judge’s law clerk during his New York civil fraud trial. The trial, brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump of inflating his wealth on financial statements for loan applications and deals, a claim he denies. Subsequently, Engoron fined Trump $15,000 for violating the gag order and extended it to cover his lawyers after they questioned the law clerk’s role on the bench. In response, Trump’s legal team filed a lawsuit against Engoron, contesting the gag order as an abuse of power under the state law known as Article 78, which permits legal challenges to certain judicial decisions.
