- Judge Arthur Engoron published an order defending a $10,000 sanction against Donald Trump after the former president violated the gag order barring public comments about his court staff.
- Before trial testimony in Trump’s civil fraud case began Thursday morning, Trump attorney Chris Kise asked Engoron to reconsider his fine against Trump from the day before. Engoron said he would review the video of Trump’s comments to reporters that prompted the fine.
- When Engoron returned after lunch, he told the defense counsel that the fine stood, adding there was a “clear transition” between Trump’s comments referring to Engoron’s clerk and a subsequent comment about Michael Cohen, Engoron said.
