TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump reposted a comment on social media suggesting that the New York attorney general and the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial should be put under "citizen's arrest." Trump and his supporters have been escalating their attacks on the judge and others involved in the trial. The comment refers to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing Trump for alleged financial misstatements, and Judge Arthur Engoron, whom Trump accuses of bias. Trump's repost comes after he accused James of fraud and after Engoron fined him for violating a gag order. Critics argue that Trump's repost is an incitement to break the law and endangers the judge and attorney general.
