A New York Appeals judge on Thursday temporarily lifted NY Judge Arthur Engoron’s gag order on Trump.
Appellate judge David Friedman stayed Engoron’s gag order citing Trump’s First Amendment rights.
In late October Judge Engoron put Trump on the witness stand after he blasted the former president and accused him of violating the gag order with his remarks to the press. He also fined Trump $10,000.
Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York.
This is a non-jury trial.
Last month President Trump briefly spoke with the press during a mid-morning break. He criticized Michael Cohen as a “discredited witness” and called Arthur Engoron a “partisan judge.”
“He’s a felon, convicted felon for lying, went to jail for lying, and this is their only witness,” Trump said to reporters. “When you think about it, it’s pretty amazing.”
Trump defended his net worth and his empire’s assets.
