Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.

Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.

Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.

    Not if you keep raising it until it hurts. Establishing a pattern of fines that raises itself over repeated violations shows it’s not being raised for no reason. He keeps violating it. It keeps going up but until it actually hurts him after a million you make it 10 million after 10 million, you make it 100 million and if trump knows the next time is going to be more than he can afford because he doesn’t actually have that money. Then he might shut his fucking mouth.
