A post disparaging the judge’s clerk in Donald Trump’s fraud trial was seen by thousands of people after the former president was hit by a gag order, the court was told Friday.
Judge Arthur Engoron is mulling whether to punish Trump after discovering that the post was not removed from his campaign website despite the gag order which was issued more than two weeks ago.
Defense attorney Chris Kise was told to share specific information about the amount of people who saw the post.

He reported Friday that it was emailed to 25,810 people, of whom 6,713 opened it, according to ABC News.
Of them, 3,701 viewed the actual post.
"You have to click through layers to get there," he told the judge.
Engoron suggested jailing Trump on contempt of court charges was a possibility Friday morning, but has not ruled yet on any punishment.
