Threats and Gag Orders: Trump Fraud Trial Sparks Controversy

The judge and law clerk overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial have received hundreds of "serious and credible" threats since the former president began publicly criticizing court staff. The threats, which have increased since October 3, include harassing calls, emails, and messages on social media platforms. The judge imposed a gag order on Trump, which was later extended to his attorneys, due to the threats. The judge has fined Trump twice for violating the gag order. Last week, a temporary lift on the gag order was granted, but court officials are urging to keep it in place for the safety of court staff and the integrity of the trial.
