Former President Donald Trump has been fined again by a New York judge who slapped him with an oral order barring him from attacking members of his staff.
Judge Arthur Engoron fined Trump $10,000, on top of the $5,000 fine imposed last week, the AP said.
Engoron was angered by a comment Trump made to reporters outside the courtroom when he said: “This judge is a very partisan judge, next to him is a person who is very partisan, maybe even much more partisan than him. “
When called to the witness stand, Trump claimed his attack was directed at Michael Cohen, his former lawyer who testified in the civil bank fraud trial, and not the judge’s clerk. According to the AP, Trump said that while he did not name the employee, she was still “very biased against me.”
However, Engoron said he found the former president’s claim that he was referring to Cohen “not credible.”
Engoron imposed the gag order on Trump earlier this month after he posted an attack on his employee on Truth Social.
