Donald Trump has been fined $10,000 (£8,200) for violating a gag order after he seemingly called a court clerk "partisan".
Judge Arthur Engoron first issued the gag order against Trump after he made a post on his social media site Truth Social where he disparaged the judge’s clerk.
Mr Trump and several of his family members are on trial for fraud, falsification of business records, issuing false financial statements and conspiracy. Mr Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
The non-jury, civil trial is focused on determining damages for the fraud that Judge Engoron has already determined Mr Trump committed by inflating his personal net worth to secure favourable loan agreements.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the case, is seeking $250m (£205m) in penalties and severe restrictions for Mr Trump’s businesses.
