Former President Donald Trump will once again be prohibited from speaking about court staff in the ongoing civil trial determining whether he and his company fraudulently misstated the value of their assets, as a New York appeals court upheld the gag order Thursday, reinstating it after it was temporarily paused.

4. About time, maybe now the courts will stop coddling trump.

But, I wouldn't bet on it.

[claudette]

5. Yay!

Now do the same in all the other trials! LOL

[aggiesal]

6. Too little,.too late ...

He's already posted the name of the judges court assistant.

The order should have never been stayed(?), they should have kept it in place while the appeals went through.

[Wonder Why]

20. Exactly. And since he proved he couldn't control himself once it was put on hold, it should have been

re-installed pending the hearing.

If a person charged with felonies can be jailed until the trial, then a person charged with felonies can be gagged if let free until the hearing.

Trump got all the mileage he could out of those statements in that interim time so the Appeals Court is responsible for the hurt they let happen because of their negligence.

7. I'll believe it's being enforced

when i see Don the Con in jail for disobeying it.

A New York appellate court has reinstated a gag order prohibiting former President Donald Trump and attorneys from making public statements about the court staff in the ongoing civil fraud trial.

Judge Arthur Engoron originally issued the order barring Trump from making public statements about court staff after Trump made numerous comments about a clerk, who Trump says is biased against him.

Hundreds of threats against Engoron and a law clerk were made public last week. Engoron’s clerk has received 20-30 calls per day to her personal cell phone and 30-50 messages daily on social media platforms and two personal email addresses, according to court papers.

The appeals court paused the gag order earlier this month, but on Thursday said it should be restored.

“Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon, It is ordered that the motion is denied; the interim relief granted by order of a Justice of this Court, dated November 16, 2023, is hereby vacated,” the latest appellate ruling says.

15. He's going to break it

and get into zero trouble.

[SouthernDem4ever]

17. Love the sound of that Steinway

and a great song. Funny how he never expected it to be popular.

[WA-03 Democrat]

18. It's wonderful!

The high notes are just so clean.
Bass is very good in that track as well.

[spooky3]

19. I love everything about it--the message most of all. Nt

[ms liberty]

23. This song is so amazing, I love it so

There's a version of it with Bruce Hornsby backed by The Blind Boys of Alabama on the Del MCoury CD "Moneyland" that is so beautiful it will make you cry.

[Martin68]

9. Dump's legalistic maneuvers (or those of his paid legal team) just backfired. Now he's been publicly

gagged twice.

[Marthe48]

10. I gag every time

traitor skirts the law and is not punished.

[ShazzieB]

11. Whst a relief!

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Appealing in 3, 2, 1 ... /nt

[WA-03 Democrat]

14. Everyone else would already be in jail

makes me sad of all the bad that one person uncheck can do
Reality Winter as proof!

[SouthernDem4ever]

16. I agree. It's hard to cheer what should have been an open and shut case

before all this damage was done.

[William769]

22. Let's see how he wiggles out of it this time.

[iluvtennis]

24. Woohoo

[Maeve]

25. So he goes after the judge's wife

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. Does this include attacks on the judge's wife?

28. The court's ruling reinstates the gag order..--ALSO applies t attorneys in the case!!!

..........The court’s ruling reinstates the gag order against parties in the case, as well as a separate order issued in early November that extended restrictions to attorneys in the case, after Trump’s lawyers raised objections to Engoron’s communications in the courtroom with his clerk and accused the clerk of “co-judging” the case with Engoron.

[WiVoter]

29. This might be a dumb question

But is there a chance that they can find out who’s making these threatening calls? These people should be arrested and jailed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Law enforcement is looking for these people

One TFG supporter who threatened Judge Chutkan has been arrested and is being prosecuted. Law enforcment takes these actions seriously

[CaptainTruth]

31. Can it be total STFU order? Please?

[William Gustafson]

32. Did anyone else catch the misstatement in this story?

..."the ongoing civil trial determining whether he and his company fraudulently misstated the value of their assets,..." .... The Judge already found that they were fraudulent in their misstated assets, now, he is just trying to decide how much he is going to pay.... just found that odd to phrase it that way....

[OverBurn]

33. Till the Orange Asshole spends a night or two in jail it's still "Rules don't apply to Trump". Fuck Trump.

[ejbr]

34. Too little, too late n/t
