Trump's lawyers say that threats against the law clerk in the NY civil fraud trial aren't his fault. In a court filing, his lawyers argue that the law clerk chose to put herself in a public position. State attorneys previously argued that Trump's insults drove his supporters to send her threatening messages. The request was among nearly 2,000 pages of court documents Trump's lawyers filed with a New York appeals court. Justice Arthur Engoron first issued the gag order, which has since been paused, last month after the former president repeatedly railed against the law clerk on social media and to reporters outside the courtroom.

Trump is insulting the law clerk in his NY civil fraud trial after a judge lifted his gag order. Trump posted on Truth Social that the law clerk is "Trump Hating." AdvertisementShortly after the gag order in his civil fraud trial was lifted, former President Donald Trump went right back to attacking a law clerk in the case. An appellate judge temporarily lifted the gag order on Thursday while prosecutors investigate if the order violates Trump's right to free speech, as his lawyers have argued. Engoron previously fined Trump twice over gag order violations, once for $10,000 and once for $5,000.

An appellate judge in New York temporarily lifted Trump's limited gag order in his NY fraud trial. The gag had barred Trump and his lawyers from spoken or written attacks on the judge's law staff. AdvertisementOn November 3, Engoron extended the gag order to include Trump's lawyers after Trump's lawyers made what the judge called "on the record, repeated, inappropriate remarks" about the same clerk. Trump and his lawyers are now free to make written and spoken criticisms of the judge's staff members pending the full appellate decision. 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.

The proposal requires safe management of coal ash that was dumped in currently unregulated areas, including inactive power plants with surface impoundments that are no longer in use. Coal ash contains hazardous pollutants including arsenic, chromium, lead, and mercury, which have been linked to cancer, heart and thyroid disease and other illnesses. It tends to have a larger impact on low-income, minority communities living near power plants. The groups that filed the petition last year, represented by Earthjustice, found that the EPA exempted coal ash heaps at 566 landfills and dumps at 242 coal plants in 40 states. Now, plant owners in states including Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, New Mexico and Florida with some unregulated coal ash dumps would be required to monitor and clean up all coal ash at a given site, Earthjustice said.
