TL;DR Summary

The lawyer representing court clerk Allison Greenfield in Donald Trump's New York civil fraud trial has argued for the reinstatement of a gag order, stating that Trump's comments about the clerk were "baseless" and "highly inappropriate." Trump has been fined for violating the gag order and has appealed, claiming his First Amendment rights. The judge has suspended the gag order while the appeal is debated. Trump's comments have led to harassment and threats against the clerk, including compromising her personal contact information. The trial judge is considering what damages to impose on Trump, who has repeatedly criticized the judge and clerk as partisans.
