Trump fined again for violating gag order in New York

Donald Trump received in this Wednesday another finefrom 10 thousand dollarsin court on the case fraud that he was being followed in New York after a judge called him as a witness and reprimanded him for violate the “non-disclosure order” again which prohibits him from talking about the court clerk.

Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order to Trump on October 2 after he posted a message on his social media. personal attack on his secretary.

During a hearing this Wednesday in which former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen Engoron testifies as a witness, the judge called the former president to the hearing to speak under oath to ask him about some of the statements he made in the court’s hallways.

“You said: this is a very biased judge, and next to him sits a very biased person?” the judge asked, to which the former president replied in the affirmative, but clarified that he was referring to Cohen sitting in that chair, something that Engoron did not seem to convince, despite his insistence, according to ABC News.

Trump called the secretary “very unfair”

After a brief conversation in which Trump called the secretary “very unfair,” Engoron decided that he was referring to her again because there was a “barrier” between her seat and Cohen’s witness chair, and, moreover, in this case he would call Cohen by name.

“The witness is not credible. (…) Therefore, I will fine you $1,000 (a figure that tends to be liberal), and you must pay it within 30 days,” Engoron told him, adding that he would not change his decision.

He even warned the billionaire: “Don’t do that again, otherwise it will get worse.”

Last week the judge threatened Trump with jail time if he repeats the violation of the order, which prevents him from commenting at all on the court staff.
