Arthur Engoron

Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to rage against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is prosecuting a civil fraud case that could ultimately strip the former president of control of his businesses in the state.

"The Trial in NYC brought by the Racist A.G., Letitia James, who 'convinced' the highly partisan Democrat Judge in charge of the case that Mar-a-Lago is only worth 18 Million Dollars, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, should be dismissed in that Peekaboo and the Judge fraudulently reduced the value of Mar-a-Lago, and other assets, in order to make their FAKE case more viable," Trump wrote. "This is yet another Witch Hunt for purposes of Election Interference."

In a post to Truth Social this Wednesday, Donald Trump pointed to an article published in the New York Law Journal that suggests the judge in Trump's civil fraud case in Manhattan may have misunderstood "the scope of the New York State Executive Law provision which he relied upon to call for such 'cancellation' and dissolution of the former president's LLCs."

"The respected New York Law Journal writes that the “Dissolution Ordered in “‘People of the State of New York v. Trump’” Appears Unwarranted," he wrote.

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron after the judge placed a gag order on court participants.

Engoron issued the gag order on Tuesday after Trump attacked court clerk Ashley Greenfield on social media.

Donald Trump has appealed a New York judge's ruling that found him and his family's business liable for fraud.

The former president's attorneys filed the appeal Wednesday as he continues to stand trial in a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Trump, three of his adult children and the Trump Organization of lying for years about the values of their assets for financial benefit, reported Reuters.

Judge Arthur Engoron lost patience with former President Donald Trump's lawyers on Wednesday when they appeared to be needlessly dragging out the proceedings at his civil fraud trial.

As reported by The Messenger's Adam Klasfeld, Trump attorney Jesus Suarez seemed to get on the nerves of both Engoron and opposing counsel during his cross examination of accountant Donald Bender, who for decades looked after the Trump Organization's books as an employee of Mazars USA.

Former President Donald Trump will reportedly abandon attendance at his New York fraud trial to return to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

Sources told Marc Caputo and Adam Klasfeld of The Messenger on Wednesday that Trump will soon depart for Florida despite telling New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron he would attend the trial all week.

Former President Donald Trump apparently expressed frustration in court on Wednesday after one of his lawyers got scolded by Judge Arthur Engoron.

As reported by The Messenger's Adam Klasfeld, the former president "audibly groaned" when Engoron scolded one of his attorneys for purported "performative questioning" by reminding them that there is no jury during the current bench trial.

Former President Donald Trump knows he's already lost his civil fraud trial in New York, wrote Heather Digby Parton for Salon Wednesday. But there's a reason he's still acting "defiant and courageous" about it.

Judge Arthur Engoron has already held Trump liable in a summary judgment, and the trial unfolding this week is largely about determining damages. Trump suffered a further blow after a mixup by his attorney resulted in him receiving a bench trial rather than a jury trial, something he is visibly angry about.

Donald Trump drew a rebuke from the judge overseeing his fraud case after he targeted a courthouse staffer online, and MSNBC's Claire McCaskill said that showed how shaken the former president was by the lawsuit threatening his livelihood.

Judge Arthur Engoron, who found last week that New York attorney general Letitia James had proven the fraud claims against Trump and his two adult sons, ordered the ex-president to take down a Truth Social post smearing his clerk and banned him from making additional comments about his staff, and McCaskill told "Morning Joe" his attack was telling.

During Tuesday's episode of MSNBC's Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace and Bloomberg Senior Executive Opinion Editor Tim O'Brien discussed the importance of Justice Arthur Engoron's issued gag order against ex-President Donald Trump following the MAGA hopeful's October 3 social media attack on the judge's clerk.

Soon after Trump attacked the clerk via Truth Social, he removed the post.

CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams said that Judge Arthur Engoron may have to threaten to throw former President Donald Trump in prison to get him to comply with a gag order he issued this week.

Engoron hit Trump with a gag order after the former president spread an evidence-free claim that a New York law clerk in Engoron's court is Sen. Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) "girlfriend."

Judge Arthur Engoron was furious with Donald Trump on Tuesday after the former president invented a conspiracy about one of the judge's staffers and posted her photo online.

For the first time in Trump's many legal cases – and after several warnings – the judge in the New York fraud trial issued a gag order on the frontrunner for the GOP's presidential nomination. CNN legal reporter Erica Orden highlighted that the order applies to "all parties" in the case, which means Trump's sons are also under it.
