The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s $250m fraud trial moved to gag Trump’s lawyers from talking about “confidential communications” between him and his staff on Friday.
Judge Arthur Engoron has already fined Trump $15,000 for attacking his clerk on social media and threatened to jail the former president if the attacks continue. “Failure to abide by this directive shall result in serious sanctions,” warned Engoron.
