TL;DR Summary

A New York judge, Arthur Engoron, threatened to imprison Donald Trump for "blatantly" violating a gag order by failing to remove a social media post mocking the judge's clerk. Trump's lawyers apologized for the violation, stating that it was an oversight, and the post has since been taken down. Engoron has previously sanctioned Trump's lawyers and fined Trump for not responding to subpoenas. The civil trial, in its third week, focuses on whether Trump knowingly listed false valuations of properties to boost his net worth. If found guilty, Trump will not be sent to prison, but the judge has ordered the cancellation of Trump's business licenses, pending an appeal.
