Debunked: Trump's claims about judge's wife shot down by court investigation
The wife of the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s fraud trial never posted social media content about the former president despite claims by the former president and conspiracy theorist, according to a new report.
A spokesperson for New York’s Court Administration office told the Messenger Thursday that Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife was not behind posts shared by Trump and Laura Loomer.
"They are not hers,” Al Baker reportedly said in a statement. “Justice Engoron’s wife has sent no social media posts regarding the former president.”
Baker’s statement comes hours after Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Engoron’s wife of sharing content biased against him. The images show a woman writing anit-Trump grafitti on a wall next to images of him, hairless and in an orange prison garb.

“This is the most unfair Trial in the History of New York,” Trump wrote. “Can this be happening in America?”
Loomer claimed credit Thursday for Trump’s message, which she said originated with her “exclusive report.”
“It’s currently the top post on President Trump’s Truth Social feed,” Loomer boasted.
The Messenger notes Loomer presented no evidence linking the “Dawn Marie” account to Engoron’s wife, who has publicly denied ownership.
Trump targeted Engoron's wife just hours after an appeals court reinstated a gag order against the former president. Engoron has reportedly vowed to enforce the gag order "rigorously and vigorously."
