TL;DR Summary

State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, presiding over Donald Trump's New York fraud trial, issued a written order stating that Trump's testimony during a gag order hearing "rings hollow and untrue" and that it was "unmistakably clear" that he intentionally violated the gag order. While the judge stops short of accusing Trump of perjury, he imposes a $10,000 fine for the violation. This comes after three years of Engoron dealing with Trump's compliance with subpoenas and judicial orders in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
