A state appeals court in New York has reinstated a gag order in Donald Trump’s fraud trial after a wave of death threats and abuse targeting members of the court staff.

Justice Arthur Engoron put the gag order in place to protect his chief clerk and others from the former president’s posts and subsequent menacing messages that have flooded his office. Mr Trump has now posted about the judge’s wife.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump has lashed out at “globalist” foes in the traditional conservative establishment for their support of his Republican primary rival, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

In the firing line were Americans for Prosperity Action, a Charles Koch-controlled donor network; the Wall Street Journal, and proprietor Rupert Murdoch; and JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who implored even liberal Democrats to help Ms Haley’s campaign to give the GOP a choice other than Mr Trump.

Meanwhile, Newsweek published an op-ed by the former president in which he appeals for the votes of young people by playing on their financial concerns saying many have had to put their lives on hold. A Gen Z voter group has vigorously pushed back on the former president’s assertions.

Alex Woodward writes:

News networks should be taken off air and investigated for treason. The nation’s top military official should be executed. A state judge presiding over a trial against him, and the attorney general suing him, should be arrested. People seeking asylum in the US are “poisoning the blood of our country” and should be turned away if they don’t accept “our religion.” Drug dealers should get the death sentence. “Liberal Jews” are voting to “destroy America and Israel.” The regime will “root out” political opponents who “live like vermin”.

Donald Trump’s latest violent, authoritarian visions in his 2024 campaign for the presidency are building on his platform of self-described retribution.

They are also increasingly colliding with the multiple criminal investigations and lawsuits against him, as prosecutors and judges hope to rely on gag orders to rein in his rhetoric, which has invited hundreds of abusive messages and credible death threats from his supporters against the judges and prosecutors involved.

8 hours ago Full story: Trump immediately attacks judge’s wife after gag order reinstated in fraud trial

Moments after a New York appeals court reinstated a gag order in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial, the former president unleashed a series of baseless Truth Social posts attacking the wife of the judge presiding over the case.

Mr Trump reshared several conspiratorial “reports” from far-right activist and failed congressional candidate Laura Loomer about the wife of New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron.

He also accused her of making anti-Trump memes that included AI images of Mr Trump in orange prison jumpsuits with captions saying he’s “headed for the big house.”

A statement from the court on Thursday denied that the judge’s wife had anything to do with those posts.

8 hours ago Did McCarthy swear at Trump over the phone? He says so...

Kevin McCarthy’s downfall reportedly included a blow-up with former President Donald Trump, who he blamed for not calling off a faction of House conservatives including Matt Gaetz bent on his ouster.

The California congressman’s tenure as speaker of the House lasted less than one full year; a grinding election process ended up being a prelude to a weak, ineffective leader failing to maintain trust among his party’s right wing and facing the axe after cutting a deal with Democrats to keep the government funded.

Most frustratingly for Mr McCarthy: the leader of the pack of wolves at his heels was none other than Matt Gaetz, the grandstanding House Republican from Florida, Donald Trump’s adopted home state, who is known to be a close ally of the former president. The battle for Mr McCarthy’s fate ended up looking as much a microcosm of the GOP’s ongoing civil war as it was an intra-caucus personality fight. The ex-speaker clearly expected to maintain his position, having told journalists that he would be “fine” and would “survive” heading into the vote; afterwards, he waged a campaign of vengeance-by-proxy against Democrats who refused to save him, as his allies ordered several kicked out of their Capitol offices.

Now, multiple people familiar with a conversation between the former speaker and the ex-president after Mr McCarthy’s removal have told The Washington Post that he was so hurt by the ordeal that he exploded at Mr Trump for not ordering Mr Gaetz to back down.

John Bowden has the tea.

9 hours ago Tucker throws support behind Trump

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host whose texts revealed he hates Donald Trump “passionately” and thinks of him as a “demonic force” as part of the evidence in the Dominion defamation case, has — naturally — now endorsed the former president’s campaign to return to the White House in 2024, according to a tweet by Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington.

In a recent appearance on Roseanne Barr’s podcast, he said: “I’ve always agreed with Trump’s policies. I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-A-Lago last summer. That can’t stand. I agree with Trump on a lot but even if I disagreed with Trump on a lot I’d still be a Trump supporter because you cannot allow that. You cannot allow the regime, the president of the United States to use the Justice Department to knock the frontrunner out of the race. You can’t do that. … So I’m voting for Trump. If they convict him, I will send him the max donations and I will lead protests. … And by the way, if I thought that he had committed some real crime, I wouldn’t feel that way. But he didn’t. He and Biden are both found with classified documents at home. along with every other former high-level federal official in history, but only Trump is indicted? Tell me how that works.”

9 hours ago Fulton County: Coming up tomorrow...

Friday may prove an interesting day in the Georgia election subversion case as Judge Scott McAfee will hear motions for the dismissal of the case, evidence sharing, and whether to extend the deadlines for discovery and pretrial motions.

It is also expected to be the first major appearance of Steven Sadow, the lead attorney in the defence of Donald Trump in the case. So far he has kept a low profile in the state election interference case as it has played out in the Fulton County Courthouse, listening as lawyers representing other defendants have argued points before the judge.

However, per The New York Times:

The quiet period may soon be coming to an end. This week, Mr Sadow filed a motion arguing that before any trial, the Georgia courts should weigh whether the 13 felony charges against Mr Trump should be thrown out because his claims about voting fraud after he lost the 2020 election were protected by the First Amendment.

And on Friday, Mr Sadow is expected to make his first significant court appearance in the case, to argue that Mr. Trump should be granted access to evidence gathered by federal prosecutors in his separate election interference case in Washington.

The hearing could provide early hints of Mr Sadow’s long-game strategy, and how he might incorporate lessons learned over decades of defending a colorful roster of clients including rappers and the occasional tabloid demi-celebrity.

The former president is one of 15 co-defendants in the sprawling racketeering case. Four others have struck plea deals with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and are cooperating with the prosecution.

9 hours ago Faced with new gag order covering court staff, Trump attacks judge’s wife

Donald Trump responded to the reinstatement of the gag order in his New York civil fraud trial with a series of Truth Social posts accusing Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife of posting anti-Trump memes. He also reshared several conspiratorial “reports” from far-right activist and failed congressional candidate Laura Loomer about the judge’s wife.

The memes included AI images of Trump in orange prison jumpsuits with captions saying he’s “headed for the big house”.

“This is the Judge’s Wife and Family that are putting these things out,” Trump wrote in one post. “I am not entitled to a Jury under this Statute. Can this be happening in America? This is the most unfair Trial in the History of New York, and I’ve had some pretty unfair Trials!”

A statement from the court on Thursday denied that the judge’s wife had anything to do with those posts.

“Justice Engoron’s wife has sent no social media posts regarding the former president. They are not hers,” according to a statement from Office of Court Administration spokesperson Al Baker.

The gag order only covers court staff.

9 hours ago Gag order reinstated in Trump’s fraud trial

A state appeals court in New York has reinstated a gag order in Donald Trump’s fraud trial, after court officials revealed the wave of death threats and attacks against members of the court staff.

New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron put the gag order in place to protect his chief clerk and other court staff from the former president’s abuse and subsequent attacks that have flooded his office.

A state appellate court judge temporarily froze the orders earlier this month, “considering the constitutional and statutory rights at issue”.

Judge Engoron and his principal law clerk Allison Greenfield received “hundreds of threats, disparaging and harassing comments and antisemitic messages” that followed the former president’s harassment, according to a recent court filing.

10 hours ago What will happen at the GOP convention if Trump is convicted? RNC rules offer no clues...

The Republican National Committee’s rules for next year’s nominating contest and convention were released this week without addressing a question the GOP could well face next summer: can the party’s delegates vote for a different candidate if the presumptive nominee is convicted of a felony?

Former President Donald Trump is under four criminal indictments that will proceed through the GOP primary season, an overlap of legal and political calendars with no precedent in American politics. Fifteen states and American Samoa hold their GOP primaries on 5 March, known as Super Tuesday, which is also the day after his first trial is scheduled to begin in Washington on charges that he unlawfully sought to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump is dominating the Republican field and may secure much of the support he needs by Super Tuesday, by which time almost half of the delegates who select the nominee at the GOP convention will have been awarded. Even if he were to be convicted in Washington or another trial, top party leaders and many voters have indicated they would stand by Trump anyway. And Trump and his allies are pushing to dismiss and delay the trials and have worked with state parties to craft rules favourable to him.

The RNC rules don’t include any provisions specific to the unprecedented scenario unfolding.

10 hours ago Giuliani continue to push for jury at defamation trial

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani continues to request that his defamation trial should take place in front of a jury. It is currently a bench trial before a judge to determine how much he should pay in damages to Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who it has already been ruled he defamed.

In a new filing, Mr Giuliani’s lawyers argue: “If the Court allows a jury to determine damages, Giuliani will be severely prejudiced because a default sanction is inherently prejudicial, underscoring the case law holding that the Court—and not a jury—must determine damages in this scenario. The Court should sustain the objection and remove the case from the jury trial docket, instead holding an evidentiary hearing.”

In response, attorneys for Ms Freeman and Ms Moss wrote: “Defendant Giuliani nevertheless indicates that he intends to argue to the jury (even though he has offered no jury instruction on this point) that Plaintiffs “must prove the extent that Giuliani’s conduct proximately caused” the harm that resulted from the injuries alleged in the Amended Complaint. … But that part of the case is over.”

They add: “There can be no serious dispute that this Court’s Default Judgment Order has already found that Defendant Giuliani’s conduct proximately caused the harm alleged in the Complaint. The only remaining question for the jury should be to quantify that harm, as a matter of dollars and cents owed to Plaintiffs.”

Alex Woodward has been covering the case for The Independent:
