Former President Donald Trump and his legal team pleaded for relief Thursday from civil rulings and courtroom fines they view as baseless.
Convening in a Manhattan courtroom, Mr. Trump’s lawyers asked Judge Arthur Engoron to reconsider the $10,000 fine he imposed on the ex-president one day earlier for referring to a “very partisan” person alongside the judge.
Judge Engoron had ordered all participants in the trial not to comment publicly about his staff. That restriction from Oct. 3 followed a Trump social media post that might have maligned the judge’s principal law clerk, who sits next to him. Judge Engoron said Mr. Trump’s assertion that he was talking about Mr. Cohen was “not credible,” noting that he sat closer to the clerk than to the witness.“To me, the ‘he’ in that sentence is referring to the person in the immediately preceding sentence,” Mr. Kise said.
