The gag order was temporarily lifted two weeks ago as Trump appealed the order. Trump and his lawyers are now barred, again, from attacking the judge's legal staff either verbally or on social media. It was issued in response to Trump posting to Truth Social a photo of the judge's principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield. In the Truth Social post, Trump named the law clerk, linked to her social media account, and falsely called her "Schumer's girlfriend." Engoron has twice found Trump in contempt of court for violating the gag order, fining him a total of $15,000.

The financial watchdog overseeing the Trump Organization informed a New York judge on Wednesday about $40 million in cash transfers that were not previously disclosed as required to that court-appointed monitor. A review of bank statements since January shows that there were "three cash transfers exceeding $5 million each, totaling approximately $40 million," she wrote. Kise's statement referenced Jones' last regular report to the judge, which she sent in August. In that previous letter, Jones notified Engoron about what she described as issues of incompleteness and inconsistency in certain disclosures to lenders and others by the Trump Organization. A spokeswoman for New York Attorney General Letitia James had no comment on Jones' letter.

Trump's civil fraud trial, which could run him and Trump Org out of NY, is in its ninth week. A rep for Trump's biggest "victim," Deutsche Bank, testified Tuesday as an unlikely defense witness. AdvertisementDonald Trump's defense team tried to turn the tables at his civil fraud trial on Tuesday — calling a representative from his own biggest fraud victim, Deutsche Bank, to the witness stand in his defense. "We're expected to conduct due diligence and verify the information provided to the extent that's possible," the witness, Dave Williams, a Deutsche Bank managing director, told Trump's attorney Clifford Robert. Undaunted, Trump's side plans to continue Wednesday with direct examination of yet another Deutsche Bank official.

Trump will be the final witness for the defense on Dec. 11, in the trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing him and his co-defendants of falsely inflating Trump's assets for financial gain. Trump's adult son and co-defendant Eric Trump is scheduled to testify Dec. 6, defense attorney Christopher Kise said. Trump Sr., Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. denied wrongdoing when they were previously questioned on the witness stand by lawyers for the state. But that shift "cannot be ascribed to President Trump's re-posting of a photograph the Principal Law Clerk herself first published," they argued.

Trump's lawyers must respond by November 27, after which a full panel of the New York Appellate Division's First Department will decide if the gag stays or goes permanently.

CNN —A New York appeals court judge on Thursday temporarily lifted the gag order placed on Donald Trump and his attorneys in his civil fraud trial following an emergency hearing. Judge Arthur Engoron imposed the gag order on Trump to prevent him from making any statements about court staff, citing security risks. His order came after Trump posted on social media a baseless allegation involving the judge’s principle law clerk. The judge later extended the gag order to ban Trump’s attorneys from making any public statements about communications that the judge has with the law clerk. Engoron has already ruled that Trump and his co-defendants were liable for fraud.

In a statement responding to the motion, a spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James said Trump was trying to distract from his "fraud." It is highly unlikely that Engoron will declare a mistrial, given his earlier fraud findings and defense of his law clerk's conduct. Trump took the stand in the case last week, defending his business practices and calling the case "election interference." The case is among the many legal woes facing Trump as he campaigns for the presidency.

The presentation, titled “The Trump story,” also included photos of Donald Trump with his father, Fred Trump, as well as sleek photos of various Trump buildings.
