Trump's Controversial Actions and Violations of Gag Orders

Former President Donald Trump posted a video on Truth Social, calling the New York judge overseeing his civil fraud trial a "lunatic," a day after being fined $5,000 for violating a gag order. The video featured clips of the judge admitting his difficulty in separating his emotions from court cases. Trump had received the gag order earlier this month after posting a photo insinuating political motivation in the case. The civil case, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump and his business partners inflated the value of his assets. Trump has repeatedly criticized the case and the judge on Truth Social.
