Judge Engoran said that he did not find the former president credible

“Donald Trump has been fined $10,000 for violating a gag order that prevented him from speaking about those overseeing his civil fraud trial in New York,” The Hill reports.

“In an unexpected twist, Trump was sworn in as a witness to respond to allegations he violated the gag order against him in his fraud case by commenting about a court secretary.”

New York Times: “From the stand, Mr. Trump said that he had not been referring to the clerk, Allison Greenfield… After Mr. Trump left the stand, having testified for about three minutes, the judge, Arthur Engoron, said that he had not found the former president credible and levied the fine.”

case (which I don't believe it is) that Dump was talking about Cohen - Michael Cohen is a WITNESS and talking that way about witnesses is also a violation. Isn't it?
