A New York appeals court reinstated a series of gag orders barring Donald Trump and his lawyers from publicly commenting about the law clerk for the judge overseeing the state’s civil fraud trial against the former president.
Trump’s motion to temporarily block the gag orders while he challenges them was denied Thursday by the appeals court, after a judge had granted a temporary stay Nov. 16.
