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 judges 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 states 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 trumps 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 in fact multiple appraisals valued it at no more than 30 million. Trump said his penthouse in trump tower was worth 327 million. Its actual value, more than 200 million less. The judge also said trump boosted the values of seven golf clubs by 15 to 30 because of what he called a Brand Premium on the name trump. The former president denying it all. He didnt have to come to court today, but he showed up again, coming out to talk to reporters several times. Mr. President , why did you decide to come . You didnt have to. I dont have to. Because this trial is a rigged trial. Reporter trump says hes coming back for more tomorrow, david, and hell have to return sometime later when hes called to testify as a witness.

And then his lawyer entering the plea on his clients behalf not guilty. Hunter biden is accused of Unlawful Possession of a gun by an illegal drug user and lying about his drug use on a Background Check Form when he bought a revolver in 2018, a time when he has acknowledged he was addicted to drugs. The judge set the terms for pretrial release, including random drug testing, which the judge noted hunter biden had already been doing, and passing. He must also remain alcohol free. Then, after less than 30 minutes, the president s son left, an almost routine proceeding, in stark contrast to his chaotic appearance here in july, when the complex plea deal his lawyers had worked out with prosecutors collapsed under questioning from the judge. Tonight, his lawyer issuing a statement, declaring, these charges are the result of political pressure from President Trump and his maga allies. Hunter bidens lawyer also says he will challenge these gun charges on the basis of a Supreme Court ruling last year that dramatically expanded the rights of gun owners.
