'Lady MacBeth of the situation': Analyst voices 'fear' around Trump gag order limitations
While former President Donald Trump continues to spew verbal attacks on social media towards Judge Arthur Engoron, who's presiding over the MAGA hopeful's $250 million civil fraud trial, and his law clerk, experts are worried about the potential violent consequences of his rants.
As the gag order Engoron imposed on the ex-president was temporarily paused until its reinstatement Thursday, November 30, legal analyst Lisa Rubin shared her concerns regarding its limitations.
"The gag order is just about the courtroom personnel, right," Rubin told MSNBC's Deadline: White House guest host Alicia Menendez. "And so what I fear is that Donald Trump will pivot, as he already has, to talk about people who aren't covered by the gag order. And that includes everyone from [New York Attorney General] Letitia James, who has experienced an onslaught of horrifically racist threats and demeaning comments about her, to Judge Engoron's own wife, who has been accused, the court system, and she says falsely, of posting a number of political content on Twitter. She says she doesn't have a Twitter account, but [far-right activist] Laura Loomer has accused her of making a bunch of really partisan posts about Trump himself. Trump has amplified those by reposting them on Truth Social and calling the judge's wife a 'Trump hater' who is essentially the Lady Macbeth of the situation, whispering into one ear as the law clerk whispers in the other."
