Lawyers for the New York state court system argued Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s criticism of a judge’s clerk on social media allegedly led to “hundreds of threatening and harassing voicemail messages,” according to court documents.
In a filing with the the New York appeals court, state attorneys argued that a gag order that was handed down weeks ago by a judge in the former president’s civil fraud case should be upheld, coming after President Trump criticized Judge Arthur Engoron’s chief law clerk, Allison Greenfield. The appellate court has since lifted the gag order as it hears arguments in the case.
