New York high court denies Trump appeal of fraud case gag order
New York’s top court has dismissed former President Trump’s appeal of a gag order imposed in his civil fraud trial, which came to a close last week.
The New York Court of Appeals tossed the challenge because it involved no “substantial constitutional question,” according to a Tuesday court filing. Trump’s legal team had argued that the former president’s speech was unlawfully restricted by the rule.
Judge Arthur Engoron imposed the gag order in October, barring Trump and his counsel from making comments about the trial judge’s staff. The order followed a post to Trump’s Truth Social falsely deriding Engoron’s principal law clerk as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) “girlfriend” that included personally identifying information about her.
A Schumer spokesperson called the post “ridiculous, absurd, and false” in a statement to The Hill at the time.
After that, Engoron’s law clerk became an unwitting main character in the former president’s fraud trial. Trump and his lawyers accused her of acting as a “co-judge” in the case, which Engoron forcefully denied. The clerk played an active role in the trial, passing notes to and whispering with the judge.
The ruling put Trump and his counsel at odds with Engoron, who repeatedly told them that attacks on his staff are “not appropriate” and won’t be tolerated “under any circumstance.” The judge at one point went so far as to unexpectedly called Trump to the witness stand to explain himself for a comment the judge believed was about the clerk.
In November, a lower appeals court reinstated Engoron’s order. Trump’s counsel had argued in their request to eliminate it that the trial judge’s enforcement of the rule “casts serious doubt” on his ability to serve as an “impartial finder of fact” overseeing the former president’s case.
The purported bias of the judge and his clerk was also the basis of a mistrial motion filed by Trump’s counsel, which claimed the judge and his clerk “tainted” the trial with bias against Trump. Engoron denied the motion, calling it “utterly without merit.”
Attacks against Engoron or New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), who sued Trump and his business in 2022, are not barred by the order. When Trump testified in the trial, he berated them as “Trump haters,” “frauds” and “political hacks.”
Trump also took aim online at Engoron’s wife and son, neither disallowed by the gag order.
James claims Trump, his business and several top executives — including Trump’s adult sons — falsely inflated and deflated the value of the business’s assets to receive lower taxes and better insurance coverage.
The trial ended last week with closing arguments, where Trump’s lawyers argued that “not one witness” testified to the widespread fraud alleged by the state and the state argued that the defendants’ intent to defraud is evidenced by a paper trail.
The attorney general’s office has asked Engoron to force Trump to pay a nearly $370 million penalty and to block him from New York’s real estate business for life.
Engoron said he hopes to issue a decision in the case by the end of the month.

His criminal trial in DC will be quite the spectacle and I figure it should be on time or close... If the SCOTUS doesn't disqualify him and even if they do, he will apparently be the GOP nominee, even if he is convicted and perhaps even if he is disqualified too!
Joe has go to love it and hope nobody else runs against him...

Trump Mar-a-Lago evidence request highlights defense strategy targeting Biden admin, Intel community
Former President Trump gave a preview of his defense strategy in his Mar-a-Lago documents case, making a sweeping request for discovery that accuses the Biden administration of “collusion” in his case and seeks to show “bias” from the intelligence community.
Trump is accused of violating the Espionage Act in the case by refusing to return more than 300 records with classified markings, even shuffling them around his Florida estate to conceal them from both his attorney and prosecutors.
But the Tuesday night filing shows the extent Trump’s lawyers will seek to put the Biden administration on trial, echoing the former president’s campaign rhetoric in asking for communications and documents they say show he was unfairly targeted.
The 68-page filing says they have secured records that suggest “evidence of collusion between the Office and the White House, [Department of Justice], FBI, and NARA,” also known as the National Archives.
Trump’s attorneys say records they gathered through a public records request “strongly supports the existence of additional evidence of bias and political animus that is central to the defense of this case and must be produced promptly.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith in part to shield the case from the accusations of political bias Trump is now making. Despite Trump’s claims, there is no evidence of improper coordination, and the White House has said it has no advance awareness of the June 2022 search of Trump’s home.
The request also asks for any communications with prosecutors in Georgia — connecting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case with his prosecutions for his efforts to stay in power by requesting documents related to the state-level Jan. 6 case.
The filing also seeks “evidence relating to analytic bias harbored by the Intelligence Community.”
Trump’s team asserts that Smith’s team must provide any discovery that aids “trial defenses that [Trump] is seeking to develop.”
Prosecutors will have a chance to respond to the filing, and are likely to tell U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that much of the material defense lawyers are seeking is not relevant to the case.
Trump’s team also complains about efforts to strip his security clearance and pushed back on arguments from prosecutors that national security secrets were at risk by being kept at a hotel and club with a revolving door of guests.
The indictment against Trump charted the course of the moving documents, from a storage room to a ballroom stage and even to a bathroom.
“President Trump will dispute at trial the contentions by the Special Counsel’s Office that Mar-a-Lago was not secure and that there was a risk that materials stored at those premises could be compromised,” Trump’s team wrote.
“President Trump is entitled to present evidence regarding steps the Secret Service took to secure the residences, such as during and after his successful run in the 2016 election.”

Black is white,the earth is flat,this guy is God??Up to my eyeballs w/this BS, that this incredibly flawed,despicable "man" is actually considered for another term is the most confounding event I've witnessed in 58 yrs. All despite the Liz Cheney's,Cassidy Hutchinson's,Adam Kinzinger's,Chris Christy's,and so many other's former R's and staff members sounding alarms. This is so FKN bizarre that I feel like Rowdy Roddy Piper in the movie where he sees aliens in human disguise w/his sun glasses. This is the vibe I'm getting w/the orange man's supporters,WTF is wrong w/these people.As this election ramps up the threat represented must be responded to w/DEFCON 5 tactics.Influential former R's like G.W. Bush,D Cheney,M Romney should be recruited along w/Clinton and Obama to form a coalition to drill home to all persuadable R's and I's the abyss of Trump 2.0. All minorities,I know your waiting,expecting change and are not satisfied,be patient this election is about DECENCY and electing a Pres. that supports the rule of law and democratic values,simple as that,EVERYTHING else is merely secondary here.When politics held on to some tenets of moral decency and absent of internet and social media the R candidate couldn't have flooded the zone w/lies,disinfo,and all the other shock jock tactic BS he peddles.At any other point in our country's history he'd wouldn't get a sniff of acsending to governor,rep,senate,or hell even mayor of a big city w/his vile,sordid background let alone the Oval office.Any supporter of his who recites the pledge of allegiance is has instantly purgored themselves,possibly committing treason casting their vote for him,still can't really believe what I'm seeing.

Looks like Kaplan is taking Habba's shit (still think she got her degree from the Crack Jacks box)
"Habba: But my client has to choose between attending his mother in law's funeral --
Judge Kaplan: I have ruled. Sit down.
Habba: I don't like to be spoken to that why. Please refrain. I am asking for an adjournment for a funeral.
Judge Kaplan: Denied. Sit down. "
basically STFU....

I hear from the pundits that Trump had better watch himself with this guy, a hard ass.
