Former U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks after exiting the courtroom as he attends his Manhattan courthouse trial in a civil fraud case in New York, U.S., October 18, 2023.
Future violations by Trump could be punished by steeper fines and possible imprisonment, Justice Arthur Engoron said in an order.
Engoron said in the order that a social media post by Trump attacking the judge's clerk - which was deleted from the former president's Truth Social platform - had remained visible on his campaign website two weeks after he had ordered it taken down.
Trump at times has appeared in person at the ongoing trial, attacking James and Engoron in inflammatory remarks to reporters outside of the courtroom.
Trump, who has sought to portray the case as intended to hurt him politically, has denied wrongdoing and defended his asset valuations.
