Donald Trump will get another chance to stare down Michael Cohen, his former personal attorney, in court, as Cohen testifies in Trump’s fraud trial.

The judge's ruling is the second time Trump has been found in violation of his gag order in the civil fraud trialA judge fined former President Donald Trump $10,000 for violating the gag order in his $250 million New York business fraud trial.Trump and his attorneys attacked Cohen's credibility as a witness during his first day on the stand.$10,000 for violating the gag order in his $250 million New York business fraud trial.

Trump had previously been barred from making public statements about Engoron's staff, after he sent a social media post attacking Greenfield on the second day of the trial. New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil case accuses Trump, his two adult sons, the Trump Organization and top executives of falsely inflating the values of Trump's real estate properties and other assets in order to get tax benefits and better loan terms.

Trump"would look at the total assets and say, 'I'm actually not worth $4.5 billion. I am really worth more like $6 billion,'" Cohen testified under oath. Cohen has implicated his former boss in some of the crimes that he himself pleaded guilty to, including making secret hush-money payments to women who said they had extramarital affairs with Trump, and lying about his business dealings with Russia. Trump has pleaded not guilty in a separate New York criminal case charging him with falsifying business records related to the hush-money payments.
