Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.

Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.

Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.

    He knows he can’t win, so he is trying to provoke the judge. The judge is smart enough to realize that and he isn’t going to be manipulated. He’s going to let Trump hang himself and dissolve his company and expose him as the fraud he is.

        Yeah, Trump is still a threat to our democracy, he can still win the Presidency.

      If something happens to the clerk, the trial is tainted and he gets a do-over/delay.

      I think he’s that sociopathic.
