Arthur Engoron forbids Trump’s lawyers from discussing ‘confidential communications’ between the judge and his staff
The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s $250m fraud trial moved to gag Trump’s lawyers from talking about “confidential communications” between the judge and his staff on Friday.
“The threat of, and actual, violence resulting from heated political rhetoric is well-documented,” Engoron wrote. “The First Amendment right of defendants and their attorneys to comment on my staff is far and away outweighed by the need to protect them from threats and physical harm.” Engoron questioned the accuracy of those allegations. “It’s a shame we’ve descended to this level,” he said.
