Threats against Judge in Trump's New York Trial Spark Concern

The office of Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York, has been inundated with death threats and antisemitic abuse following Trump's online attacks. The judge and his clerk, Allison Greenfield, have received hundreds of threatening messages via phone and social media, prompting attorneys to request gag orders on Trump. Transcribed voicemail messages revealed the extent of the abuse, including death threats. Trump's posting of Greenfield's image on social media led to a limited gag order, but a recent appeals court decision paused it, allowing Trump to comment freely. Greenfield's personal contact details have been compromised, with a significant portion of the messages being antisemitic. The fraud case brought by the New York attorney general accuses the Trump Organization of inflating property values for favorable loans. Engoron's pre-trial judgment found Trump guilty of fraud and revoked his New York business licenses, but Trump's lawyers have appealed.
