Judge in fraud trial extends gag order to Trump’s legal team

Arthur Engoron forbids Trump’s lawyers from discussing ‘confidential communications’ between him and his staff

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s $250m fraud trial moved to gag Trump’s lawyers from talking about “confidential communications” between him and his staff on Friday.

Judge Arthur Engoron has already fined Trump $15,000 for attacking his clerk on social media and threatened to jail the former president if the attacks continue.
