Trump's Unhinged Attacks on Judge and Law Clerk Spark Death Threats and Political Violence

Former President Donald Trump resumed his attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron and his law clerk, accusing them of political bias in a social media post. A gag order had been imposed on Trump during his civil fraud trial in New York, but it was temporarily paused by a New York appeals court. Trump took the opportunity to criticize the judge and his clerk on his Truth Social platform, alleging fraud and bias. The gag order had prohibited Trump from attacking the judge's staff but allowed criticism of the judge himself. The trial has been marked by fines imposed on Trump for violating the gag order.
