Former President Donald Trump‘s legal team was placed under a new partial gag order Friday by Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the Trump Organization civil fraud trial in New York.
Engoron blocked Trump’s defense team from making further comments about the judge’s communications with his staff, warning of “sanctions” for further violations.
The order came after defense lawyers made repeated objections about the working relationship between him and his principal law clerk, including suggestions that she was biased.
