After Trump posted a slur about Justice Arthur F. Engoron’s clerk on Truth Social, he was called to his chambers and the judge issued a limited “gag order.”
Trump had alleged — falsely — that the clerk had a relationship with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and posted a photo.
“Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison (sic) R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful!” Trump posted. “This case should be dismissed immediately!!”
The judge struck back:
“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,” the judge said.
The “gag order” forbids any posts, emails or public remarks about members of the judge and he tacked on ‘serious sanctions’ such as a $1,000 fine or even a jail stay of up to 30 days.
Will Trump pay attention?
