"Appeals court reinstates gag order on Trump in NY fraud trial, targeting judge's wife"
A New York appeals court has reinstated a gag order that prevents Donald Trump from making derogatory comments about court personnel, including a law clerk involved in his civil fraud trial. The order was initially imposed after Trump posted a derogatory comment about the judge's law clerk on social media. The trial judge plans to enforce the gag order rigorously and vigorously. Trump's lawyers had challenged the order, but it was upheld. The lawsuit, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump exaggerated his wealth on financial statements. Trump denies any wrongdoing and claims the lawsuit is politically motivated.
