TL;DR Summary

A New York judge has extended a limited gag order to include Donald Trump's attorneys in his fraud trial, citing threats and harassment that have "inundated" his chambers since the trial began. The gag order prohibits attorneys from making public statements referencing confidential communications between the judge and his staff. The judge has received hundreds of threatening phone calls, voicemails, emails, letters, and packages. Violating the order will result in serious sanctions. Trump has violated the gag order twice and has been fined $15,000. The trial, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges a decade-long scheme by Trump and his organization to inflate his net worth.
