TRUMP Assails Judge and Clerk AGAIN in Election Criminal Fraud Trial as Gag Order Temporarily Lifts
Donald Trump has assailed a judge and clerk handling his New York fraud trial as a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.
BBC 17 NOV 2023
The ex-president sued the judge in the civil case, Arthur Engoron, after he barred him and his attorneys from speaking about judicial staff.
Mr Trump's lawyers had argued the gag order was unconstitutional.
A state intermediate appeals court has granted what is known as an interim stay.
Judge David Friedman cited the "constitutional and statutory rights at issue" in Thursday's ruling.
It means that, for now, Mr Trump and his lawyers can once again make public comments about the court officials.
The former president wasted little time in reopening attacks on Judge Engoron, calling his actions "Radical and Unprecedented".
"His Ridiculous and Unconstitutional Gag Order, not allowing me to defend myself against him and his politically biased and out of control, Trump Hating Clerk, who is sinking him and his Court to new levels of LOW, is a disgrace," the 77-year-old wrote in a lengthy post on social media.
Mr Trump's lawyer Christopher Kise also welcomed the ruling, which he said would restore his client's right "to talk about bias in his own trial".
