Trump Civil Fraud Case: What did ex-President say about Judge who fined him $15,000

Former US President Donald J Trump who is embroiled in court cases has targeted Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron who will deliver the verdict in his $250 million New York fraud trial.

Despite the gag order on the billionaire by the Judge, he has not stopped using social media to attack Judges and other staff members.

His recent attack was on Engoron who has charged Trump with $15,000 fine for violating the gag order. Trump was fined on two occasions during the trial, for the first time, he was fined $5,000 and then $10,000.


One can expect Trump in jail if he doesn't follow Judge Engoron’s orders.

What did Trump say about Engoron?
The former President used his social media account on ‘Truth’ to launch his recent attack on Judge Engoron.

“HE HAS GONE CRAZY IN HIS HATRED OF “TRUMP,” said Trump in all capitals on his social media account which has over 64 million followers.

In his posts, he also referred to Engoran as a ‘Radical Left Judge.’ He accused the Judge of being biased during the trial.

On social media, Trump complained, “The unhinged Judge, a highly political and fully biased Trump Hater, refused to dismiss this HOAX of a case, and has lost all CREDIBILITY.”

“He is a judge that found me GUILTY before the trial even started, and long before he had the real facts,” said Trump.

“This judge is a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside him, perhaps even more partisan than he is,” complained the former president to the reporters during a break on Wednesday in the court house.

What is the Gag Order?
When the hearing of Trump’s fraud case started, Justice Engoron had ordered Trump to not attack, or even comment on, members of the judge’s staff on social media.

The first gag order was after Trump showed a picture of the judge’s clerk, Allison Greenfield, with Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, and mocking her as “Schumer’s girlfriend.”

Though, Trump’s post was deleted but a copy of the comments is available on Trump’s campaign website until Thursday evening, when the court notified his counsel of its existence. It was removed later that day at around 10 p.m.
