Donald Trump threatened with jail after breaking gag order in $250m fraud case
The former president made a personal attack against a judge’s staff member in a since-deleted post. While it was removed from Truth Social after a gag order was put in place, the post was still available on Trump’s campaign website.
Donald Trump could face jail after violating his gag order with an "untrue and disparaging post".
Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over Trump's $250m (£206m) New York civil fraud case, said the former president could be sent to prison for failing to comply with the partial suppression order.
At the start of October, Judge Engoron ordered a Truth Social post be removed and imposed a limited gag order "with respect to posting or publicly speaking about any member of my staff".
On Friday morning however, the judge noted that the post was still available on Trump's 2024 campaign website, which violated the order. It has since been removed.
