Donald Trump has been fined a second time by a New York judge for violating a gag order imposed in his civil fraud case.
Lawyers for former President Trump faced a resounding rebuff Wednesday when they sought an immediate and directed verdict in the Trump Organization’s civil trial following testimony from former lawyer Michael Cohen. Cohen, a onetime Trump confidant and close lawyer, admitted during his testimony that the former president did not directly ask him to inflate his finances on a personal financial statement.
Cohen’s testimony provided further insight into the inner workings of the Trump Organization, revealing that he inflated the former president’s assets to “any number that Trump told us.” This disclosure adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting financial misconduct within the organization.
In another development, Judge Engoron imposed an additional $10,000 fine on Trump for violating the partial gag order. The former president had posted a disparaging statement on his Truth Social account directed at the judge’s court clerk, leading to escalating legal repercussions.
The civil trial will continue on Thursday and it is not yet known if Trump will attend in person. The ongoing legal battle has captured the nation’s attention, shedding light on the complex web of allegations surrounding the former president and his businesses.
