Engoron presides over Donald Trump's civil fraud case at New York State Supreme Court on Oct. 17, 2023 in New York City., Stefanik breathlessly claimed the judge “illegally gagged” Trump—when in fact the judge merely barred the former president from launching unprecedented attacks against court staff.
