Judge Arthur Engoron threatened ‘serious sanctions’ for any violations.
The judge in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial has barred lawyers in the case from commenting on “confidential communications” between him and his staff, after the former president’s attorneys renewed claims that a clerk was poisoning the proceedings.
The state lawsuit accuses Trump and his company of deceiving banks and insurers by exaggerating his wealth on his annual financial statements. The ex-president and other defendants, including sons Eric and Donald Jr, deny the allegations. The written order echoed the judge’s comments in court, when Trump lawyer Christopher Kise recapped complaints that the defence team has raised for more than a week about the clerk’s notes to the judge during evidence.
He told the defence on Thursday that he might expand the gagging order to include lawyers if any of them referred to a member of his staff again. He started Friday’s court session by saying he hoped he had made himself clear.
