Episode notes
Gag Order Origins
- Judge Arthur N. Goran issued a limited gag order against Donald Trump in the New York civil fraud trial.
- This was in response to Trump's public attacks on a court clerk, including sharing her picture and falsely labeling her as Chuck Schumer's girlfriend.
Interconnected Courts
- Courts are observing each other's proceedings and rulings, especially regarding gag orders in Trump's cases.
- This interrelation is evident in the New York civil fraud case and the federal case overseen by Jack Smith.
Suing the Judge
- Trump's lawyers not only appealed the gag order but also sued Judge N. Goran personally.
- This unusual move is atypical in legal proceedings, where parties usually sue each other or the court.
