Attorneys for former President Donald Trump in a civil fraud case against him in New York state filed a 1,902-page brief on Nov. 27 arguing that a gag order issued in the case should be lifted because of the judge’s allegedly unlawful conduct.

The lengthy document references a motion requesting a mistrial and the judge’s and state attorneys’ responses to it.
