Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been fined $5,000 by a New York judge for violating a gag order during his ongoing civil fraud trial. The judge, Justice Arthur Engoron, stated that future violations could lead to even steeper fines and potential imprisonment.

While the violation appeared to be inadvertent, Engoron expressed concern about a social media post on Trump's campaign website that attacked the judge's clerk. Despite these legal troubles and restrictions, Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in the upcoming 2024 U.S. election.

The trial overseen by Engoron was brought by New York state Attorney General Letitia James. In response to a social media post from Trump, the judge imposed a limited gag order on October 3.

The post featured a photo of the judge's top clerk with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, which Trump used to criticize both of them. Engoron emphasized that comments directed at his staff would not be tolerated under any circumstances.

During the trial, Trump has made inflammatory remarks about James and Engoron to reporters. However, he was not present at the recent hearing, where his lawyers claimed that the remaining visible post was accidental.
