Former President Donald Trump has been fined $5,000 by New York Judge Arthur Engoron after failing to remove a derogatory post about the judge's clerk from his campaign website, violating a limited gag order. Trump's attorney apologized, claiming it was an inadvertent oversight, but the judge expressed anger and considered imposing more serious sanctions, including imprisonment. The post has since been removed, but tensions have been high in the civil fraud trial where Trump, his adult sons, and The Trump Organization are accused of overvaluing properties and net worth.
