"Trump's Gag Order Fine Reconsidered Amid Civil Fraud Trial"

A New York judge has upheld his decision to fine former President Donald Trump $10,000 for violating a gag order during his civil fraud trial. The judge initially imposed the gag order after Trump shared the name and photo of the judge's top clerk on social media, suggesting political bias. Trump was fined again after making an apparent reference to his clerk in comments to reporters outside the courtroom. The judge reviewed the remarks and concluded that Trump was indeed referring to his clerk. Trump is facing a lawsuit accusing him of inflating his assets to secure better loan terms and insurance premiums.
