Trump fined $10,000 over comment outside court in NY fraud trial

The judge in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial fined the former president USD 10,000 on Wednesday, saying Trump violated a limited gag order barring personal attacks on court staffers. The fine came after Trump was called to the witness stand to explain his comment outside the courtroom about “a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside” the judge in the case, Judge Arthur Engoron. Weeks ago, Engoron ordered all participants in the trial not to comment publicly about his staff.
