"Judge Imposes Gag Order on Trump in New York Civil Trial Over Clerk Controversy"

The judge presiding over Donald Trump's civil trial in New York issued a gag order after Trump posted an inflammatory message on social media identifying the judge's clerk. The post included a photo of the clerk alongside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and called for the case to be dismissed. The judge ordered all parties involved in the case to refrain from posting about his staff on social media. Trump's social media posts have been the subject of court fights in his separate criminal cases, with prosecutors accusing him of making "inflammatory public statements" that seek to influence potential jurors and intimidate witnesses. The civil trial focuses on charges of business fraud, falsification of records, and conspiracy.
