Trump threatens Judge Engoron again, this time with a repost of a ‘citizens arrest’ fantasy

The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, slapped a limited gag order on Donald Trump early in the trial after Trump launched repeated public attacks on Engoron, his clerk, and state prosecutors. In justifying the order, which later was extended to include Trump's showboating attorneys, Engoron cited "hundreds" of threats his office has received after Trump's social media posts.

“The threat of, and actual, violence resulting from heated political rhetoric is well-documented," Engoron wrote.

That gag order (and two subsequent fines leveled against Trump for ignoring it) hasn't accomplished much. Trump is still giddily nudging potential violence along, now by promoting a particularly pointed attack from a Truth Social user. “MY FANTASY ... I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LITITIA JAMES AND JUDGE ENGORON PLACED UNDER CITIZENS ARREST FOR BLATANT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND HARASSMENT," it read.
