TL;DR Summary

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial has expanded the gag order to include Trump's attorneys, prohibiting them from making any further comments about confidential communications between the judge and his staff. The judge cited the need to protect his staff from threats and physical harm as the reason for the expanded order. Violating the order could result in serious sanctions. Trump's legal team has clashed with the judge over his clerk's alleged influence and accused her of "rolling her eyes" during testimony. The judge defended his right to seek counsel from his clerk, stating that she is a civil servant doing what he asks her to do.
