reporter: with the former president of the united states seated right in front of him, judge arthur engoron slapped a partial gag order on donald trump, forbidding him from publicly attacking court staff. it came hours after trump slammed the judge's clerk on social media. the judge outraged, ordering trump to delete the post, telling him, "personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable and inappropriate." it was the second time today the judge issued a warning to trump. earlier, rejecting his defense that the state's fraud claims are too old to take to trial. >> the statute of limitations is a very real thing in this country. >> reporter: but the judge said he determined months ago that the case could go forward, cautioning trump's lawyers, "this trial is not an opportunity to relitigate what i have already decided." judge engoron has already ruled the former president committed fraud by grossly inflating his wealth, overvaluing his properties to obtain better interest rates from banks. trump said his seven springs compound in westchester county was worth $261 million, when

so, who is judge arthur engoron? >>> we are learning new details about the kidnapping of 9-year-old charlotte sena miraculously found alive two days after her disappearance on a bike ride. our john miller has new reporting, tonight. >>> tonight, the judge in donald trump's civil trial losing patience with trump's attorneys at one point pounding the bench and exclaiming their line of questioning was ridiculous and repetitive. it comes as judge attacked judge arthur engoron after the judge issued a gag order about speaking publicly about court members. here is trump today. >> the bottom line is this is rigged. the judge already knows what he's going to do. he's a democrat judge. in all fairness to him, he has no choice. he's run by the democrats. he's a democrat judge out of the clubhouses. he's controlled and it's a shame what's going on here is a shame. our whole system is corrupt. >> so, who is judge arthur eng engoron? tom foreman is "outfront." >> reporter: we have a renegade judge here. >> he's a democrat operati

look at what he did today, just with fish james and judge arthur engoron. judge arthur engoron called him all sorts of names, a rogue judge, tiff james of course is a racist, a line he has used many times with many people. he said the same thing about jack smith. he says the same thing about fani willis. this is a guy who does not understand. disparaging somebody is not the way to win a case. what you need to do is bring the evidence, bring the documents in order to clear your name, as opposed to thinking you're going to clear your name by disparaging somebody else. the fact that you have guys like cliff robert, the fact that you have alina habba or chris kise to make the statements, the fact that now jimbo jordan is now outed as well. this is all part of the playbook. i have watched the playbook since 2015, as it's related to the campaign. this is so part and parcel for the playbook, it does not even affect me. do you think that trump cares, to the point that whether he actually loses this case? he seems to suggest that they are not as worried about the le

it came after trump attacked judge arthur engoron's law clerk in social media while sitting in the courtroomat included trump blasting the clerk's personal social media account information to his millions of followers. following a nearly hour-long delay, an angry judge engoron made clear that personal attacks on his staff were unacceptab and would not be tolerated. he added that any further violation of this order would lead to swift and meaningful sanctions and order trump to delete the post, which he did. only after which the trial resumed. of course, trump's dangerous actions should come as no surprise. he has been relentlessly attacking the judge and new york attorney general letitia james as well as anyone else related to this legal cases frk but in this case, we're seeing the twice impeached, four times indicted former president who is facing a potentially devastating loss in this trial falling back on his overused tattered playbook which he's used for years, sometimes nearly verbatim. >> this is a rigged court. >> it's a rigged election. >> this is called election interference. >> it'

[applause] this trial is overseen by new york city judge arthur engoron, seen here in his audition photo "the golden bachelor." you may approach the bench. it does please the court. engoron fans here. he's already issued a scathing ruling against trump, and it ex-president must be hard for the ex-president to sit there and listen to people slam his business. or it would be, if he was listening. but he's not. instead, today, while he was sitting in court at his own trial, he went on truth social, where he put up a post attacking judge engoron's clerk, who was literally in the courtroom with him, calling her "chuck schumer's girlfriend." he's acting like a bored high schooler. he also passed a note to the judge saying "will you convict me? yes or no." we've also seen several official courtroom sketches from this trial. but yesterday, trump shared one that his fans made. there it is. he actually reposted this. i've heard "jesus is my co-pilot." but from the looks of this, he's also a co-defendant. oh, i'm being told this is implying that jesus is his defense attorney. which makes sense. his

the man mr trump must convince is the judge arthur engoron.division, meaning he has contempt for his own court system. nobody has ever seen that before. he refuses to even talk about it or acknowledge it. and the attorney general is a total corrupt, she�*s a corrupt person. a terrible person. driving people out of new york, number one. that is number one. number two, wejust came out a few minutes ago, people that do this agree with us 100% that they say thejudge is wrong. thejudge is wrong in his ruling. judge engoron opened the proceedings after allowing cameras in to court to document the scene. as you can see, donald trump sat there — arms folded, flanked by his legal team, throngs of reporters and spectators in the gallery. the opening exchanges did not bode well for the trump organisation. "one thing i know a lot about," said thejudge, "is the legal definition of fraud". the president is right about one thing he said this afternoon, cary, that every time he appears in court and is charged, and there are 91 indictments on the list, his pol

and it finally, took a state court judge, judge arthur engoron, to step up and say, enough is enough. whereas, i was thrilled to see the judge and barren issue a partial gag order to help protect his court staff. you know, shouldn't we be in the business of protecting everybody, witnesses, jurors, judges, prosecutors, and others against donald trump's dangerous rhetoric? not when it just happens to be someone very close to us, like our court staff. so, i mean, the danger that donald trump continues to pose to this country, to our military members, to foreign countries, as, i think, exemplified by this new unfathomable reporting about him sharing nuclear secrets can't be overstated. >> bradley moss, donald trump is now seeking a delay, just past the election on the case involving these classified documents and classified information. the violation of the espionage act and obstruction of justice case in florida. what do you make of that request for that delay, which of course, jack smith is opposing? >> yeah, it's a very slow attempt on his part. i don't think he expects to actually get

arthur engoron called those comments a blatant violation. he find trump $5,000 just last week for a post on the trials, a clerk on truth social. it was another incident. trump but kept the post on his campaign website long after the judge ordered it to be removed. new york state allows judges to impose fines, even jail time for contempt charges. there's been a surprise development in the federal election subversion case against president. former president trump, former chief of staff mark meadows has been granted immunity in exchange for his cooperation. meadows reportedly told special counsel jack smith's team trump was dishonest after the 2020 election. he says trump new allegations of voter fraud were baseless. and meadows agrees with the assessment that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. he has met with the special counsel's prosecutors at least 3 times and testified in front of a grand jury scott wiener has announced his bid for a 3rd term in the state senate. the san francisco state senator made that announcement today.

after some contentious moments between his lawyer and judge arthur engoron yesterday the former president took a lunch break and flew back home. before he released more attacks on the judge and letitia james. he seemingly confessed to giving fraudulent financial statements to his banks. let's take a look at that one. >> the financial documents that i gave to the bank are much less than my actual net worth, so therefore i gave them to the bank, they can't be fraud because i gave them lower numbers. i'm stuck here because i have a corrupt attorney general that communicates with the doj in washington to keep my nice and busy. they made up a fake case. they're fraudulent people, and the judge already knows what he's going to do. he's a democrat judge. it all in fairness, he has no choice. he has no choice. he's run by the democrats. >> trump churning dangerously there and violating the gag order and incriminating himself. after trump left the attorney general of the state of new york, letitia james, gave remarks of her own where she defended the case brought by her office. >> this case was br

president from escalating his attacks this time on new york attorney general letitia james and judge arthur engoron himself. today on day three of this trial the trump called the attorney general a racist and deadly cop while also using a racially loaded epithet against her. inside the courtroom trump was more vocal than he'd been in previous days. he expressed his frustrations about not having a jury trial, something he potentially could have had if his lawyers requested one. they did not. halfway through the day the former president seemed to have had enough, and during the lunch break he stormed out to complain to reporters. >> i'm stuck here and i can't -- i'd rather be right now in iowa. i'd rather be in new hampshire or south carolina or ohio or a lot of other places, but i'm stuck here because i have a corrupt attorney general. they made up a fake case. they're fraudulent people, and the judge already knows what he's going to do. he's a democratic judge. >> i'm stuck here. i'd rather be in iowa. that's what trump said before he left on his private jet for florida. so not stuck, also not in i

the post war taken down, but judge arthur engoron called it unacceptable and inappropriate, saying tos forbidden from saying or publicly speaking about any member of the court staff. of course, this is not that surprising, because it is donald trump's only move when he is challenged. he escalates, right? right now, the ex president is on trial in manhattan in the civil suit about his business practices. he is set to go to trial or the next year into more civil cases, a defamation and class action suit. he has been indicted on 91 criminal charges across -- cases and faces the responsibility of living out the rest of his natural life behind bars, which is scary for anyone. i think he is scared. he is doing the one thing that he knows what to do, which is to go after his perceived enemies, raise the tension. this is not just criticism. trump is very clearly painting targets on the backs of the people that he singles out, but a clerk at this court? do you think that clerk has security? what happens when that clerk is identified by the maga lords? what trump is doing is deliberate. it will

the judge in this case, justice arthur engoron is seen smiling. trump denies any wrongdoing, he calls the whole trial a sham. this is a no-jury trial, meaning justice engoron has full discretion deciding trump's punishment. he said trump overly valued his properties, including trump tower for bank, tax, and insurance benefits. trump calls engoron deranged and took aim at letitia james and president biden before walking into the courtroom. >> the crime is against me because we have a corrupt district attorney, we have a corrupt attorney general, and it all comes down from the doj that totally coordinated this in washington because i'm leading, the leading candidate, leading biden by ten points and leading the republicans by 50 and 60 points. >> jacqui, trump also calls attorney general james a racist. she filed the lawsuit against trump, his children and the trump organization. seeking $250 million fine and severe restrictions on trump and his family from running business in the state of new york. >> my message is simple. no matter how powerful you

judge arthur engoron said in a filing this morning the court is fining trump $5,000 for leaving up andisparaging post about the clerk, engon's clerk on his campaign website. donald trump has also putp and doxed the attorney general, letitia james. that may violate a gag order as well. he shared a blog order from a far right politicalctist on truth social that has letitia james' home address. he's continuing to threaten people. what surprised me about engoron's finding is the $5,000 fine. that's a very tiny fine for somebody who even though it's a lie, claimed to be a billionaire. why so little? >> i think because chris kise who represents the former president in the new york attorney general's trial went to the court today and said look, this was inadvertent. it was left up on the campaign's website, but the defendant did as your honor ordered him to do, he took it off truth social. the fact it remains on the campaign's website was mere inadvertence, and engoron said i'll take it on faith it's inadvertence this time. i'll sanction your client $5,000, but the next time, let me lay out

. >> and kristen, among other things, he called judge arthur engoron, and he can't be more than 30 yards from where the judge is. and also, the attorney general of new york is 30 feet behind the door where donald trump is speaking right now. and i want to bring in paula reid, because he is talking, and talking and talking in front of the cameras now and making statements if they don't allow the cameras in the courtroom, to a certain extent will go unanswered on camera, paula. >> yeah. watching him address the cameras, and it is a reminder of me and having the cameras in the courtroom and for all of the cases he is facing, he has a massive platform and arguably one of the -- >> he has finished talking. >> and you can see him headed into court, and flanked by the lawyers and they were not thrilled about this, but this is what he is going to do likely throughout the cases, and likely headed into the election, but i think that there is an argument to be made that if he is able to stand in front of cameras and say pretty much whatever he wants about the judge, about the prosecutors about the

monday, trump assailed james, who is african american, as a racist and called the trial judge arthur engoronrace. on wednesday, james denounced trump's comments. >> what they were were comments that unfortunately that i would describe as race-baiting, comment that appeal to the bottom of our humanity. i will not be bullied. mr. trump, the donald trump show is over. this is nothing more than a stunt stop a fundraising stop. amy: on tuesday, judge engoron placed a gag order on trump , the first on the former president come after he falsely claimed on social media that the judge's law clerk was the girlfriend of senate majority leader chuck schumer. the judge barred trump from posting, sending emails, or making public remarks about members of the judge's staff. to talk more about the opening week of the trial, we are joined by david cay johnston, pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter who has reported on trump for decades. he is the author of three books on trump, including "the big cheat: how donald trump fleeced america and enriched himself and his family." johnston is also a distingui

[ laughter and applause ] trump has been railing against this particular judge for a while now, and unfortunately for him, that judge alone will determine the verdict. there will not be a jury, which would probably have given trump better odds of getting off, because -- and this is true -- trump's dummy lawyers forgot to fill out the form requesting a jury trial. [ audience moans ] only the best people. but with that said, trump must be convinced he is going to lose, because when they broke for lunch, he continued to lash out at the judge. >> we're going to be here for months with a judge that already made up his mind. it's ridiculous. he is a democrat judge. he is an operative, and it's ridiculous. other than that, things went very well. >> will you come back after lunch? >> probably. >> jimmy: and josh's mother thinks we shouldn't talk about him.

it's no surprise that trump's been lashing out at judge arthur engoron and on his fail social media site. he spent the last -- any kind of accountability, running away from fines, or any kind of government oversight, legal punishment, but finally, thanks to the new york attorney letitia james, there's nowhere left for him to run, and nowhere left for him to hide. let's bring back my panel to break all this down. jordan, i'll start with you. what can we expect ivanka does take the stand? how damaging could her testimony before trump in her brothers? >> quite damaging, and i think the prospect of earthbound testimony from the entire trump family is going to make this an even spookier halloween week for them than it was going to be already. as you rightfully pointed out, when we talk about the trump children, these aren't just people who happened to be related to a guy who runs this big business. they're in the business themselves. don and eric now, and ivanka formerly. but importantly to their, as the attorney general has pointed out, she still retains an interest. that's part of what made
