Trump explodes against 'psycho judge' and 'seething' law clerk in civil fraud trial
Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday to rage against the court officers in his civil fraud trial in New York.
"A Rigged Trial going on against me by a corrupt N.Y. State Attorney General and an out of control Judge," wrote Trump. "They brought Values down to a FRACTION of what they are really worth, like Mar-a-Lago, and then called me a Fraud. They are the FRAUDSTERS, and the whole system is CORRUPT. I didn’t even include one of my most valuable assets, BRAND VALUE, in my Financial Statements."
"Also, this Psycho Judge refuses to acknowledge the fact that I have a 100% Disclaimer Clause on the First Page of my Statements - 'DUE YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE,'" Trump continued. "But it all doesn’t matter, because regardless of what we say to show our TOTAL INNOCENCE, and it has been proven in many ways, and many times over, this political, Trump Hating Judge, together with his horrendous, seething with ANGER Law Clerk, with her illegal campaign contributions, will find me guilty as hell."

"NO JURY ALLOWED, A STATUTE NEVER USED FOR THIS BEFORE, A RIGGED TRIAL, A RACIST & CORRUPT ATTORNEY GENERAL, A TRUMP HATING JUDGE, ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" Trump added.
For weeks, Trump has been under a gag order that prohibited him from attacking court staff — and was fined twice for violating it. However, that order is currently on hold pending review by a higher state court.
Attorney General Letitia James is seeking hundreds of millions in fines and the dissolution of the Trump Organization over allegations that Trump and his two adult sons systematically lied about their property values to manipulate interest rates and taxes owed. Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled for James on the merits of the fraud aspect, leaving the trial primarily a decision about damages.
