Former President Donald Trump is back at New York civil fraud trial for a third day Wednesday after running afoul of the judge by denigrating a key court staffer in a social media post
Former President Donald Trump speaks to the media before entering the courtroom at New York Supreme Court, Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023, in New York. NEW YORK — — Former President Donald Trump returned to his New York civil fraud trial for a third day Wednesday after. New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit accuses Trump and his business of deceiving banks, insurers and others by providing financial statements that greatly exaggerated his wealth.
But after he assailed Engoron's principal law clerk on social media Tuesday, the judge imposed a limited gag order, commanding all participants in the trial not to hurl personal attacks at court staffers. The judge told Trump to delete the “disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post," and the former president took it down.
The accountant, Donald Bender, told the court Tuesday that the Trump Organization didn't always supply all the documents needed to produce the statements, despite attesting in letters to the accounting firm that the company had provided all financial records and hadn’t “knowingly withheld” relevant data.
