The case involves a $250 million civil fraud trial, but there is no evidence of any money being lost.
Democrats have indicted Trump on 91 felony counts in four criminal cases in Washington, New York, Florida, and Georgia.
Enogron spoke to Trump and “ordered him to remove the post immediately and he said he did take it down.”
“Despite this order,” Enogron said, “Last night I learned the offending post was never removed from a website. This is a blatant violation of the gag order. I made it clear [that] failure to comply will result in serious sanctions.”

Engoron claimed the post “remained on Trump’s 2024 campaign website for 17 days and was removed late Thursday night after the court emailed him.”
“Incendiary untruths can and have led to serious physical harm,” Engoron continued. “I will now allow the defendant to explain why this should not end up with serious sanctions or I could possibly imprison him.” (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)
Trump’s defense attorney claims the post was inadvertent and apologizes on behalf of his client.
The judge warns that Trump is responsible for his entire campaign.
The timing of the charges and the judge’s actions are seen as political and an attempt to silence Trump.
Many people see this as a political lynching and a threat to free speech.
