A New York judge temporarily lifted a gag order that
barred former President Donald Trump and his lawyers from commenting
on court staff in Trump's civil fraud trial. The
gag order was lifted yesterday at an emergency hearing where
Judge David Friedman cited quote constitutional and statutory rights at
issue. The temporary suspension would allow the former president
to speak freely about court staff. The gag order
was imposed by trial judge justice Arthur Engeron on October
3rd after Trump posted a comment about the judge's law
clerk on social media.
