The ex-president’s niece taunted her uncle when his New York trial judge threatened him with jail time.
Donald Trump’s estranged niece mocked the former president in a social media post after his trial judge in the New York fraud case threatened him with jail time on Friday.
The remarks from Judge Arthur Engoron were delivered as he reprimanded Trump for breaking a limited gag order imposed toward the beginning of the civil trial. Earlier this month, Trump shared a post from X, formerly Twitter, on his Truth Social network, asking, « Why is Judge Engoron’s Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer? » Included in the post was a link to Greenfield’s personal Instagram page.
The gag order was subsequently put into place, with Engoron citing the « untrue disparaging and personally identifying post about my principal law clerk. »
The latest admonishment from the judge occurred after the court realized that Trump’s re-post that was immediately taken off of Truth Social following the gag order was still on the former president’s website, and had been for the last 17 days.
