Trump Accuses Judge's Wife of Bias in Ongoing Civil Fraud Trial

Gag Order Reinstated After Trump Violates It, Faces $15,000 Fine

Ex-President Donald Trump has accused Dawn Engoron, wife of Judge Arthur Engoron who is overseeing his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York City, of owning a social media account where anti-Trump posts have been visible. Dawn Engoron has denied these allegations.
Trump has continued to target Judge Engoron and his law clerk throughout the trial, questioning the judge’s impartiality, which resulted in a limited gag order against him and his legal team.
An appellate judge had temporarily lifted a gag order on Trump after he violated it by criticizing court staff, which led to a $15,000 fine. The gag order has since been reinstated.
Trump's estranged niece, Mary Trump, has warned that 'jail is next' for Donald after his gag order was reinstated.
Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican ticket for president in 2024, and has leveraged his complaints about the civil case and four pending criminal indictments to take in significant campaign donations from supporters.
