Social media posts that former President Donald Trump claimed were made by the wife of the judge in his New York fraud trial were not made by her, a court spokesperson said.

“Justice Engoron’s wife has not sent social media posts regarding the former president. They are not hers. She does not have an X, formerly Twitter, account,” Al Baker, spokesperson for the New York Office of Court Administration, told CBS News.

Trump shared images of the alleged posts Wednesday and Thursday on his social media platform Truth Social. The posts showed images created with artificial intelligence of Trump in an orange prison jumpsuit mopping floors, reading books and with a shaved head. In another Wednesday evening post on Truth Social, Trump accused Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife of being “Trump Hating” and said she and Engoron’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield, had “taken over control” of the trial against him.

    If the judge has to answer for his wife’s social media (and he doesn’t, but let’s say that he does), where does this leave Justice Thomas and his seditious spouse?

    Hey, if we’re bringing judge’s wives into things, can we have an in-depth discussion about Ginny Thomas …

    And the truly sad thing is that his fans will continue to believe Trump’s claims about Engoron’s wife and the clerk controlling the trial because they hate him.

      Politicians & the filthy rich have created a separate legal system for themselves.

      Alternative: Engoron knows he’s about to take everything in New York away from the Trump’s (no jury to decide the penalty, just the judge thanks to Baba’s incompetence) & wants to give Trump as few avenues to appeal that as possible.
