Trump judge issues limited gag order after former president makes disparaging post about court clerk

A New York judge imposed a limited gag order on defendant Donald Trump on Tuesday after the former president disparaged a key court staffer during his civil business fraud trial.

Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order, which applies to all parties in the case and pertains only to verbal attacks on court staff. It came after Trump recirculated a disparaging social media post about Engoron's principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield.

"Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate" and not tolerated, Engonon said.
