TL;DR Summary

The judge presiding over Donald Trump's civil fraud trial has issued a gag order on his lawyers due to their inappropriate remarks about court staff and the hundreds of threats received by the court. The judge cited the well-documented threat of violence resulting from heated political rhetoric. Trump's lawyers had accused the judge's law clerk of bias and improper influence, leading to the gag order. Trump has been fined twice for violating the order. The judge's ruling comes after tense exchanges in court, and Trump's attacks on public officials have often led to threats and harassment.
