Trump storms out of court and whines to press after being fined for violating gag order
October 25, 2023
Donald Trump was fined in court on Wednesday for breaking the gag order – and stormed out of the courtroom to yell about it to the press.
News spread across social media that Trump had walked out of the courtroom while it was still in session hearing his fraud trial. Law360's Stewart Bishop said that he thought he saw Trump leave.
It was confirmed a few moments later when CNN aired footage of Trump walking out of the courtroom and bellowing to the press, "We won the trial. And the judge should end this trial immediately. Thank you."

It's unclear what Trump was referring to.
Trump had been hit with a $10,000 fine for violating a gag order for a second time for comments he made earlier in the day which the judge ruled were directed at his clerk. Earlier this month, the order had been put in place forbidding Trump of attacking any court staffer – after he'd posted about the same clerk.
He was fined $5,000 last week after it was discovered the original post had not been removed from the Trump campaign website.
