The judge presiding over Donald Trump's $250 million civil fraud trial in New York raised the possibility on Friday of putting the former president behind bars after Trump failed to comply with a partial gag order requiring him to remove a post condemning the judge's law clerk on social media, NBC News reported.
Justice Arthur Engoron said in court on Friday morning that Trump had posted on his social media account "an untrue and disparaging post about my clerk" and that he spoke to the former president about the matter, according to NBC News.
"Despite this order, last night I learned the offending post was never removed from a website. This is a blatant violation of the gag order. I made it clear failure to comply will result in serious sanctions," the judge added. Trump attorney Christopher Kise told NBC that, based on his understanding, "this was truly inadvertent."
Kise told NBC the post was taken down from Trump's Truth Social network after the judge's ruling, "and Trump never made any more comments about court staff, but it appears no one took it down on the campaign website. It is unfortunate and I apologize on behalf of my client."
