Donald Trump on Saturday continued his attacks on the law clerk who sits beside the judge in the ex-president's civil fraud case, sharing an article that would likely be violative of a gag order that is currently stayed pending appeal.
After the gag order was temporarily lifted by the appeals court, Trump within hours insulted the law clerk, calling her biased and "out of control." Some experts have cautioned Trump away from continuing the attacks despite the stayed gag order, while others have suggested Trump is trying to "provoke the judge" in the hopes of getting a mistrial.
On Saturday, Trump continued sharing material that would likely violate the order. In this case, it was an article that includes multiple photos of the law clerk as well as her full name.
In posting the article, Trump quoted its headline: "Engoron’s ‘Co-Judge’ Law Clerk, Allison Greenfield, Attended Anti-Trump Events Endorsing Biden & Tish James, Spurred on By Impeachment Leader Dan Goldman.”
The article suggests that the law clerk has been "involved with leading anti-Trump organizations in New York City, and has even been caught on camera attending the 'Fall Event' of a group called the 'Grand Street Democrats' in October 2022."

"Greenfield – whose partisan activities were the basis for Judge Arthur Engoron’s now-overturned gag order against President Donald Trump – has been advising Engoron throughout the case, notably glaring at Trump and rolling her eyes during presentations by Trump’s lawyers, according to in-court witnesses," the article states. "Footage posted to the Judicial Protest X account early November shows Greenfield at the Grand St Dems event where speakers and the organization itself endorsed Attorney General Letitia James, whose partisan campaigning sparked the case against Trump in the first instance."
The article goes on to make claims about the purported "highly partisan activity."
"This level of involvement in highly partisan activity is wildly unusual for a law clerk, especially one presiding over a trial of a former president and current presidential candidate running against the very people Greenfield is heard cheering on in the video."
