Overview

• Judge Arthur Engoron and his staff have been receiving hundreds of threatening and harassing calls, voicemails, and emails daily, according to a court filing.
• The threats and harassment reportedly increased after Donald Trump suggested that the judge's clerk, Allison Greenfield, was in a romantic relationship with Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer.
• The judge had imposed a gag order on Trump, which was temporarily lifted by a New York appeals court on November 16.
• Following the lifting of the gag order, Trump resumed his attacks on Engoron and Greenfield on his social media platform, Truth Social.
• The Department of Justice has argued that the gag order against Trump needs to be reinstated due to the threats and harassment received by Engoron and Greenfield.
