Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.

Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.

Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.

    Unfortunately, when it comes to their own ethical standards, the words of the Supreme Court are utterly meaningless, in the exact same way their new “Ethics Code” is without teeth.

    Their words are hot wind, signifying nothing – unless you are in the market to buy Clarence and Ginni Thomas a new motorhome or give Alito a ride on your new Gulfstream V to your private Alaskan fishing camp, in which case you actually get to choose their words, lol.
