🤐 Judge Silences Trump's Lawyers

In the latest courtroom drama, a New York judge has clamped down with a gag order on attorneys involved in former President Trump's civil fraud case. This unusual move comes after the judge's team faced a flood of threats and harassment following some pointed remarks from Trump's legal team. The court is taking no chances, emphasizing the safety of its staff over the attorneys' freedom to chat about the case. Judge Engoron, pointing to the need for decorum and security, has specifically called out Trump's lawyers Christoper Kise, Clifford Robert, and Alina Habba for their comments. The judge's order means any lawyer's lips are sealed when it comes to confidential info, with serious penalties waiting for any slip-ups. This tight-lipped policy isn't new for Trump himself either, who's faced fines for previous outbursts against the judge's clerk—clearly, this judge isn't playing around when it comes to courtroom chatter. 🚫👨‍⚖️

TL;DR ⏳: Court says shush to Trump's lawyers or pay a fine! 🤫
