When Judge Arthur Engoron fined Donald Trump $5,000 for his first gag order violation last week, the judge gave a seemingly stern warning that future violations are subject to far more severe sanctions, including imprisonment. On Wednesday, Engoron, who is presiding over Trump's civil fraud trial in New York, found Trump violated his order again. The price tag? $10,000.
Trump removed the offending post from his social media, but Engoron found he violated the gag order after learning the post was left on Trump's campaign website for several days. The post was only taken down in response to a court inquiry, the judge said. “This is a blatant violation of the gag order,” Engoron told Trump’s legal team in court last week. “I made it clear failure to comply will result in serious sanctions.
