Donald Trump Jr. lashed out at the New York Supreme Court after Justice Arthur Engoron slapped his family with a gag order in a $250 million fraud trial.
During a Thursday interview with right-wing podcast host Charlie Kirk, Trump accused the United States of being a communist country because of the gag order, which was put in place after his father attacked court staff on social media.
"Well, you know, and I'm also still under gag order, Charlie, because we live in a communist country at this point where I'm not even allowed to talk about some of these things," Trump complained. "But what I can talk about is obviously an overzealous attorney general."
Trump called Deutsche Bank the "supposed victim" of the Trump Organization's alleged fraud but said the bank viewed the Trumps as a "golden goose."

"And the entire premise that the victim of this thing is somehow Deutsche Bank, a trillion-dollar entity," he said, "when they get on stage and say, no, of course, we did our own due diligence."
Trump also skirted the court's gag order by referring to "someone" on Engoron's staff who accepted an $18 million valuation for Mar-a-Lago.
"You know, real estate brokers who work in Palm Beach and do the highest end home in the world were on yesterday talking about Mar-a-Lago is worth a billion dollars, not 18 million that, you know, I guess, you know, someone there, I'm probably not allowed to name names, said it was worth," he opined. "This is insane."
Trump's father, former President Donald Trump, has been hit with $15,000 in fines for repeatedly violating the gag order.
