Overview

• Former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg calls for a 'gag order that has teeth' against Donald Trump, following a new court filing detailing threats received by Judge Arthur Engoron and his staff during Trump's civil fraud trial.
• The gag order, which prohibits Trump from speaking about the judge, prosecutors, and court staff, is currently on pause after being deemed 'unconstitutional' by a New York Appellate Division judge.
• Charles Hollon of the Public Safety Department’s Judicial Threats Assessment Unit argues for the reimposition of the gag order, citing an increase in threats each time Trump violated previous orders.
• Trump's public attacks on the judge and staff have allegedly led to a deluge of hate-filled threats, including racist, sexist, and antisemitic slurs.
• Trump's attorneys are asking a state appellate court to lift gag orders against the former president, which are intended to prevent him from speaking publicly against the judge and staff of the New York County Supreme Court in Manhattan.
