New: Closed-door courtroom mtg w/ Trump, atty and AG in the midst of lunch break. Trump entered for 20 min and exited while his attorneys remained inside. He re-entered for several minutes before his team left again. AG attys remained in court. About what? We don’t know yet.

Speculation is closed door mtg relates to a Trump post this AM attacking judge’s clerk as Sen. Schumer’s “girlfriend” giving her name and picture. The post appears to now be deleted. This follows a previous attack on the judge yesterday. Again, we don’t know what was discussed.

Update: Our 2:15pm start time has come and gone. Trump continues to enter and exit the courtroom with his attorneys. This ain’t your average bench or chambers conference.

Ah, so he probably did order it.

Trump attacks judge, court clerk in his $250 million New York fraud trial

Former President Donald Trump, who glared at NY Attorney General Letitia James on the tense first day of the trial, is present in the courtroom again for Day 2.

www.cnbc.com

On Tuesday, Trump targeted Engoron's principal law clerk by sharing a social media post that included her full name and a photo of her posing with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as they both smiled.

Trump in his repost called the clerk "Schumer's girlfriend" and accused her of "running this case against me."

"How disgraceful!" Trump wrote in his Truth Social post. "This case should be dismissed immediately!!"

Trump mentioned Schumer and the clerk again during another break later Tuesday, as he claimed that the trial was "rigged" and "fraudulent."

The clerk is seated almost directly across from Trump in court.

Trump's presidential campaign then sent out a lengthy email criticizing Engoron as a "Far-Left Democrat."

Trump isn't gonna stop this dirty way of creating disturbances in the court. First strike for this.

How many more times before he is charged with Contempt of Court and jailed for it?

I'd say third strike and he's charged.

October 3, 2023 - Trump civil fraud trial continues in New York

Judge Arthur Engoron rebuked Donald Trump after the former president attacked his clerk in a social media post on Tuesday and forbade the parties from making any future comments about his staff.

amp.cnn.com

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued railing against New York Attorney General Letitia James and her civil fraud case against him on the second day of his trial in New York.

“The rarely used Executive Law that the N.Y.A.G. is proceeding under is VERY UNFAIR, and being used against me for that reason. NY Executive Law 63 (12) does not require a victim, traditional elements of fraud are eliminated (the only such law!), the law allows a politically elected partisan prosecutor to convince a politically elected judge, who may be friends, to destroy even a Political Opponent,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump posted, “This law may not be Constitutional and is not FAIR, and that is why terrible A.G. James chose it to use against me!!!”

“Now that it has been agreed in Court that Mar-a-Lago is WORTH 50 to 100 times the Value the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia “Peekaboo” James, ascribed to it (18 Million Dollars), & likewise other assets that were valued crazily low by this “Monster” that has allowed Violent Crime in New York to reach EPIDEMIC levels, and dangerous illegal migrants to roam free all over our State, we hope the Judge will TERMINATE his first ruling of fraud in that he was given false and ridiculous information by the Trump Deranged Lunatic, A.G. James,” Trump posted.

Trump posted, “In actuality, I am WORTH FAR MORE than the numbers put down on the Financial Statements, not less. In addition, there is a far reaching and professionally drawn Disclaimer Clause boldly stated on the FIRST PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT. This entire case should be thrown out and dismissed. The A.G. should be reprimanded and sanctioned for bringing this case with its FAKE LOW VALUES, in order to make me look bad. Election Interference!”

Ah yes but I figure that he considers himself young and handsome

and virile - don't forget virile

Delusions of Grandeur!

I had to laugh last night when Rachel Maddow was doing her usual chit-chat with Lawrence O’Donnell. She kept saying that Trump was concerned about how the size of his…long pause so we could fill in the blank with something naughty, and finally saying…wealth is viewed.

After Donald Trump's former longtime accountant Donald Bender's examination by the New York attorney general's legal team concluded, the court went into lunch break.

Bender will face cross examination after the court resumes.

Judge Arthur Engoron warned the defense they need to come back from the break in a timely fashion. “If you're not here I'm starting anyway," he said.

Engoron made jokes throughout the proceedings. He started the day by joking about one of his court officers after he yelled for order in the court. Engoron said, "The man you just heard, I affectionately call Tommy, and his next gig is no doubtfully going to be at the metropolitan opera."

Trump, though, was not joking when as exited the courtroom for the lunch break, complaining once again about the trial. “This is a rigged trial. It’s a fraudulent trial. The attorney general is a fraud and we have to expose her as that. You see what’s going on. It’s a rigged deal.”

The trial was supposed to resume at 2:15 p.m. ET, but now will not start until 3 p.m. No clear reason was given for the delay.

Trump has entered and exited the courtroom numerous times since it took a break for lunch at about 12:50. James, who'd attended the trial in the morning, made a brief appearance in the courtroom at around 2:30 and immediately walked back out.

Trump's lawyers were expected to cross-examine his former accountant when they resume.

sanctions won't do crap. They need to slap the cuffs on him for contempt of court. He has been nothing but contemptuous of the entire legal process.

Sure sounds like lifelong bully Trump is really scared. He is really making a mess of things, as usual.

We can only hope!

 

[Kavya01]

Yeah I am thinking he's for real worried and scared, for once, hence all his brouhaha.
About time!

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

That post of the picture of DT with Jesus, geez. Yeah, I definitely think I remember that Bible story about Jesus screaming to the people about how Pontius Pilate is doing a witchhunt and how he was the GREATEST preacher in our UNIVERSE. MOO

When court resumed at 3 p.m. ET, Engoron noted that earlier today, Trump made a social media post about his law clerk that was also emailed to millions of people.

Engoron said he ordered the post to be taken down and that personal attacks on his staff were unacceptable and would not be tolerated. He noted that he previously warned the parties about such attacks yesterday. He finished: “Consider this a gag order on all parties with respect to posting or publicly speaking about any member of my staff.”

He also said that violations of his order would lead to swift, meaningful sanctions.

Note also that the picture in question — which featured the staffer with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — was originally on an Instagram page she maintained in connection with a campaign for a civil court judgeship. That page is now private.

"This morning one of the defendants posted on social media account a disparaging untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff. Although I have since ordered the post deleted and apparently it was, it was also emailed out to millions of other recipients," the judge said in court.
"Personal attacks of any member of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them," the judge said.

The judge then said all parties must not speak publicly about any members of the court staff.

"Consider this statement an order forbidding all parties from posting emailing or speaking publicly about any members of my staff,” Engoron said. “Failure to abide by this .. will result in serious sanctions."
