Judge Hits Trump With Partial Gag Order After He Attacks Courtroom Staff

Donald Trump posted an attack on a courtroom clerk on Truth Social this week, but then the post was mysteriously deleted a short time later. According to Politico, the post was deleted at the order of Judge Arthur Engoron who then went on to warn Trump that any future attacks on the courtroom staffers would result in 30 days in jail. Trump has spent the whole week attacking the court, and now any future attacks could result in a month in lockup, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

So things aren't going well in Donald Trump's, uh, trial up in New York. And, uh, on Tuesday while the house was of course embroiled in their speaker drama, Donald Trump was embroiled in a little drama up in New York City himself because he posted on truth social, an attack on one of the court clerks in Judge Ingerman's courtroom, Donald Trump on truth social reposted a quote quoted actually from Twitter, uh, and Trump added, Schumer's girlfriend, Allison r Greenfield, is running the case against me. How disgraceful this case should be dismissed immediately. And that post, even though Donald Trump had spent the entire week so far, attacking Judge Arthur Geron, and of course New York Attorney General Leticia James, but it was the post about the court clerk that sent anger on over the edge. And according to Politico, not only did Judge Geron order Donald Trump to delete that post from truth Social, which he did, but of course, as we all know, Geron then slapped Donald Trump with a partial gag order, warning him that if he sends out any, uh, well, if he has any posts, emails, or speaks publicly about any of Inger On's staff, there's going to be very serious consequences that legal experts believe violating a court order like this in the federal court would immediately be 30 days in jail.

It's about time, right folks? I mean, I think everybody could agree with me on that. Donald Trump has been attacking prosecutors. He's been attacking investigators, he's been attacking judges, he's been attacking potential witnesses in every single case that he is facing.

And it's about time that one of these judges finally stood up and said, enough is enough. You're not gonna talk about my staff. You're not gonna tweet about 'em. You're not gonna true social about them. You're not gonna send out fundraising emails attacking these people. If you do 30 days in county, right? You're going right down there to lock up every single judge overseeing any trial involving Donald Trump has the authority, and at this point has the responsibility to do the exact same thing, to put the same kind of order in place. And it doesn't have to be limited, by the way, to only court staffers, because inger On's order, as far as I have seen, does actually not include attacks on Inger on himself, just the staff. But he could have expanded. He said, you, you, you spread lies about me, which you've been doing all week 30 days. You talk about Letitia James, you call her a racist or anything else. One more time,

30 days. Judge Tanya Chutting could do the same thing. Judge McBurney in New York City could do the same thing. The judge down in Georgia could do the same thing. All of this could be done, but it's not. And I think the important thing, 'cause I've talked about this in the past, is obviously, you know, judges are a little reluctant to do it. It could create legal problems, but more importantly, it could put a giant target on their back. And I think that second talking point might've been removed now, 'cause Judge Geron did it. And yeah, MAGA freaks are upset, but so far so good, right? Trump's lawyers even said in court like, eh, don't worry, we're gonna tone him down. So I think this sets the precedent. The first domino has now fallen, and let's see if the other judges fall in line as well.
