New York Judge Arthur Engoron issued a limited gag order for all parties on Tuesday after Trump\u2019s Truth Social account made a post targeting the judge\u2019s principal clerk while she sat just feet away from him in the courtroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judge issued the gag order barring Trump and any party in the case from posting or speaking publicly about members of his staff after Trump released personally identifying information about his principal clerk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trial judge, without naming Trump, addressed the court on the matter, saying \u201cone of the defendants\u201d posted a \u201cdisparaging, untrue and personally-identifying post\u201d about his staff, and though the judge ordered it deleted, it had been emailed out to \u201cmillions of other recipients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPersonal attacks on members of my court staff are not appropriate and I will not tolerate it under any circumstance,\u201d Engoron said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that he warned counsel off the record about the former president\u2019s comments yesterday, but the warning went unheeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a Truth Social post that went up while Trump was sitting in the courtroom Tuesday, Trump targeted Engoron\u2019s principal law clerk \u2014 who was sitting just a few feet away \u2014 calling her \u201cSchumer\u2019s girlfriend,\u201d that reposted a picture of her alongside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a fellow New York Democrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unclear what connection, if any, Schumer has with the clerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
