Trump's latest attempt to quash his gag order crashes and burns

Former President Donald Trump will remain gagged for the foreseeable future.

The Messenger reports that a New York appellate court on Thursday denied Trump's bid to scrap his gag order that prevents him from launching attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron's staff.

In the ruling against Trump, the court found that the order should stay in place because, "The gravity of potential harm is small, given that the Gag Order is narrow, limited to prohibiting solely statements regarding the court’s staff."

Earlier this year, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed on his Truth Social platform that Allison Greenfield, a law clerk for Engoron, was Sen. Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) "girlfriend."

This led to Trump being hit with a gag order that barred him from lobbing attacks on Engoron's staff members and he has since been fined $15,000 for violating that order twice.
