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 matter seized attention on a day when Eric Trump, one of the former president’s sons and a senior executive in the family business, wrapped up his evidence, saying he relied completely on accountants and lawyers to assure the accuracy of financial documents that are key to New York attorney general Letitia James’s lawsuit.
Like the earlier gagging order, the new one was sparked by criticism of the judge’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield. She has unexpectedly become a lightning rod during the trial. The contents of the notes have not been disclosed, but Trump’s lawyers say the messages are more frequent when the defence is questioning witnesses, and the attorneys suggest the notes are tilting the process against the ex-president and current Republican frontrunner’s case.
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.
