    The gag order in Washington, D.C., is not to be confused with the one that Trump violated Wednesday at his civil financial fraud trial in New York City. He was slapped with a $10,000 fine after appearing to call a law clerk “partisan.”

    This getting better and better.

    Why was the gag order lifted though? Would’ve been nice if it was in the article…

        Thanks. Tldr: lifted until the appeal is decided, or that was the plan until Smith filled the new motion.

        Someine else said it already. While I want to see Trump in jail yesterday, I appreciate how thourugh they are. Don’t give him excuse to weasle out of it again. But with this many lawsuits and the amount of confessions we already have, this is looking really good by now.

          This is why I’m tentatively optimistic about the small fines Trump has gotten for violating the gag order in the NY civil case. Give him small fines first. Work them up with more warnings each time. Then, when he inevitably runs his mouth for the Nth time and gets sent to jail, the judge will have laid an unappealable foundation.
