It was reported by Hobnob News that President Donald Trump has been fined $10,000 by a New York judge after appearing to reference a court clerk, in violation of a gag order.
“As the trier of fact, I find that the witness is not credible,” Judge Arthur Engoron said after hearing from the former president under oath.Engoron held a surprise hearing over comments Trump made outside the courtroom earlier Wednesday that could have been referring to a court clerk and therefore violating a gag order.
I’m going to hold a hearing right now about that,” the judge said.
Engoron asked Trump who he was referring to when he talked about the “partisan person” next to the judge.You and Cohen,” Trump responded, referring to his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, who has been testifying Wednesday.Are you sure you didn’t meant the person on the other side?” Engoron asked, referring to his clerk.
Yes I’m sure,” Trump responded.
Engoron excused Trump after attorneys from both sides declined to ask him any questions. “The witness is excused,” Engoron said.
“Thank you your honor,” Trump responded as he returned to his seat at the defense table.
“I hereby fine you $10,000 — which is on the liberal side — to be paid within 30 days,” the judge ruled said in fining Trump
