The judge in the New York City case against Donald Trump and the Trump organization has transparently been a little goofy.
In the Judge Engoron example, court clerk Allison Greenfield has been passing notes and instructions to Engoron as the case has progressed.
In response to the sunlight upon the visible activity, Judge Engoron has now expanded his gag order to prohibit Trump's lawyers from drawing attention to the activity of Ms. Greenfield.
NEW YORK - The judge overseeing Donald Trump's ongoing civil fraud trial issued another gag order on Friday - this time prohibiting all lawyers working on the trial from "From making any public statements, in or out of court, that refer to any confidential communications, in any form, between my staff and me."
The issuance of the gag order is weird because the entire dynamic of the clerk instructing the judge is weird.
The gag order is an effort by Engoron to stop people from noticing it.
After this series of exchanges today, Engoron then expanded his court order to forbid the Trump lawyers from telling the public about what was happening between him and his clerk in the court.
