The order came after Trump recirculated a disparaging social media post about the judge's principal law clerk.

NEW YORK — A New York judge imposed a limited gag order on defendant Donald Trump Tuesday after the former president disparaged a key court staffer

The gag order came after Trump and lawyers for both sides repeatedly went into court behind closed doors during a lunch break. The relevant statute of limitations rules out claims related to activities before a date in 2014, and rump’s legal team has argued that the time limit cuts off most of the case.

Donald Bender, an accountant who prepared the financial statements for years, testified that Trump’s company supplied the numbers that went into the documents. Each spreadsheet was marked “PBC,” for “prepared by client,” in big, red letters, Bender said.
