Trump lashes out at New York judge for order requiring Ivanka to testify
Trump has repeatedly attacked Judge Arthur Engoron and others involved in the case.
Donald Trump on Saturday unleashed a series of attacks on the judge overseeing his New York civil fraud trial after he issued a ruling requiring his daughter, Ivanka Trump, to testify.
In a post to Truth Social, the former president derided the judge, Arthur Engoron, as “unhinged” and “an out of control ‘Nut Job,'” contending that Ivanka Trump should not have to testify after she was dismissed as a defendant in June.
“I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me,” Trump wrote.
In another post, Trump called Engoron “grossly incompetent,” “a partisan political hack" and a “Radical Trump Hater.”
Trump has repeatedly attacked Engoron and others involved in the case, including New York Attorney General Tish James.
After Trump posted a picture of Engoron’s clerk posing with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, falsely calling her his “girlfriend,” the judge imposed a gag order barring the former president from disparaging court staff.
Trump was fined $10,000 on Wednesday for his second violation of the gag order.
James sued Trump in New York court last year, accusing him of extensive business fraud. Trump also faces several criminal investigations at both the state and federal levels.
