The judge in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial lashed out at the former president for failing to remove from his campaign website a derogatory post about the judge’s clerk.
New York — The judge in former President Donald Trump’s lashed out at him this morning for failing to remove from his campaign website a derogatory post about the judge’s clerk.
The post, which was spotted Thursday by liberal PAC website MeidasTouch, was a duplicate of one posted to Trump’s social media site on Oct. 3, and deleted soon after New York Judge Arthur Engoron , barring Trump from posting or speaking publicly about the judge’s staff.
The campaign replication of the deleted post has since also been removed, but Engoron appeared quite angry Friday.
He asked Trump’s lawyers why he shouldn’t impose “serious” sanctions, “including financial sanctions” “or possibly imprisoning him.”
Trump attorney Christopher Kise apologized and said it was an errant oversight, arguing that it was “truly inadvertent,” due to the presidential campaign’s “machinery” replicating the post on its website.
