Donald Trump is testing his new powers after a gag order was stayed in his civil fraud case.
An appeals court paused the order, which kept the former president from attacking the law clerk for the judge in the case, Arthur Engoron. Trump didn't take long to test that boundary.
"New York State Appellate Division (Appeals Court), for the 4th TIME (on the same case!). His Ridiculous and Unconstitutional Gag Order, not allowing me to defend myself against him and his politically biased and out of control, Trump Hating Clerk, who is sinking him and his Court to new levels of LOW, is a disgrace," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account a short time after the appellate order lifting the limitation.
He then continued:
"They are defending the Worst and Least Respected Attorney General in the United States, Letitia James, who is a Worldwide disgrace, as is her illegal Witch Hunt against me. The Radical and Unprecedented actions of Judge Engoron will keep BUSINESSES and JOBS forever out of New York State."
Trump added:
"I have done NOTHING WRONG, my numbers were low, not high, I have a COMPLETE DISCLAIMER CLAUSE, their Star Witness admitted he lied and made up this Fake case against me, and the the Attorney General used a 'Get Trump' platform in order to run for A.G. & Governor (she failed!). This wicked attack on Democracy must be ended, NOW!"
Legal experts have warned Trump that it is a bad idea to test the gag order, despite it being lifted.
