Trump should be barred from appealing reinstated fraud case gag order, NY AG says

New York's attorney general and a judge overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial have urged a mid-level appeals court to deny the former U.S. President's request to appeal a decision reinstating a gag order in the case to the state's top court. The judge overseeing the case, Justice Arthur Engoron, on Oct. 3 barred Trump from speaking publicly about court staff after he shared on social media a photo of the judge's law clerk posing with U.S. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and falsely called her Schumer's "girlfriend."
