Judge Arthur Engoron fined Trump on Wednesday after finding that his comments to TV cameras outside the courtroom violated a limited gag order
Outside court Wednesday, Trump complained that Engoron is “a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is"A judge reaffirmed Donald Trump's $10,000 fine over an out-of-court comment during the NY civil business fraud trial, a penalty the former president's lawyers argued was unfair and unconstitutional
Outside court Wednesday, the Republican presidential front-runner complained that Engoron, a Democrat, is “a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is."Those words came after one of Trump's lawyers had groused earlier that morning about the judge's principal law clerk — the same one Trump had disparaged weeks earlier in a social media post that prompted the gag order.
Trump’s lawyers insisted anew Thursday that Trump was talking about Cohen. Attorney Christopher Kise pointed out that right after Trump's reference to the person “sitting alongside” the judge, the former president said: “We are doing very well, the facts are speaking very loud. He is a totally discredited witness” — a reference to Cohen.
He subsequently decided to stand by it, citing “a brief but clear transition” between the mention of the person “alongside” the judge and the comment about the “discredited witness.”
