The order specifically prohibits any statements that attack the \u2063court staff. However, it seems that the Trump legal team may have violated this order, as Judge Engoron called their actions a &#8220;blatant\u200c violation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>The judge took swift action and fined President Trump $5,000 for the violation. In a written statement, Judge Engoron emphasized that Trump had been warned multiple times about the consequences of disregarding the gag order. He stated, &#8220;This Court is\u200c way beyond the &#8216;warning&#8217; stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Justice Engoron initially \u2063issued the gag \u2062order\u200b on October 3, during the second day of the trial, after\u2062 President Trump made a post about the judge&#8217;s clerk.\u200c Although the post was deleted shortly after, it was discovered that it had remained on Trump&#8217;s campaign website for 17 days. This \u2063revelation led \u200bJudge Engoron to express his disappointment in\u2063 court, stating that\u200c it was a clear violation of the order.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] md:float-left\" id=\"in_article_related_stories\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-3 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-4 sm:line-clamp-3\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/hate-trump-all-you-like-the-gag-order-is-still-wrong-5513966?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-sm sm:text-base\">Hate Trump All You\u200d Like, the Gag Order Is\u200c Still Wrong<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">10\/20\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/hate-trump-all-you-like-the-gag-order-is-still-wrong-5513966?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">\n            <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/*\" https:><\/source>\n            <\/picture>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-4 sm:line-clamp-3\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/epochtv\/trump-says-hes-willing-to-go-to-jail-after-being-hit-with-gag-order-5511964?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-sm sm:text-base\">Trump Says He\u2019s Willing to Go to Jail After Being Hit With Gag Order<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">10\/17\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/epochtv\/trump-says-hes-willing-to-go-to-jail-after-being-hit-with-gag-order-5511964?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">\n            <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/*\" https:><\/source>\n            <\/picture>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The judge revealed that he had emailed the attorneys the previous night, \u200cand the\u200b offending post was finally removed.

Attorney General Letitia James filed the lawsuit last September,\u200d accusing Trump of defrauding the state and causing financial harm\u2064 to insurers and lenders by inflating \u2063his net worth on financial statements.<\/p>\n<p>James is seeking $250 million in damages and aims to prevent Trump and other Trump Organization executives, including his adult \u200bsons, from holding executive positions in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the gag\u2064 order, Justice Engoron also ordered the disgorgement of the Trump Organization and its related LLCs. However, an appeals court temporarily halted this order to allow the\u200b trial to \u200bproceed,\u2063 considering the potential impact\u2062 on Trump Organization \u2063employees.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the trial, witnesses have testified about the financial statements. Outside accountants admitted to relying \u200bon figures provided by Trump Organization executives without conducting independent analyses or audits. A\u2063 former lender also testified that the financial statements were just one factor considered by Deutsche Bank when assessing the value of Trump Organization properties.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>Furthermore, a separate gag order has been imposed on President Trump in \u2064a federal criminal case in Washington, D.C. This order restricts both\u2064 the prosecution and defense from targeting legal teams, court\u2064 staff, and potential witnesses. While the judge rejected a proposal to limit &#8220;inflammatory&#8221; statements, \u200dshe did prohibit all parties\u2062 from making statements that &#8220;target&#8221; \u200dindividuals involved in the case.
