Trump's Attacks on Judge and Clerk Raise Unprecedented Risks

Donald Trump's attorneys downplayed the death threats received by the judge and court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial, dismissing them as "irrelevant" to the conditions of his gag order. Earlier, a court filing revealed that the judge and his staff had faced hundreds of "serious and credible" threats following Trump's violation of the gag order. The threats included antisemitic messages and were delivered through various channels. In a separate development, Trump's Truth Social platform has filed a lawsuit against 20 media organizations for allegedly making defamatory statements about the company's financial losses.
