Despite being under a gag order, Donald Trump held a press conference in the hallway of his fraud civil trial in Manhattan after sharing an article containing the address of New York Attorney General Letitia James on social media.
According to MeidasTouch Network, Trump shared James’ address in an article first posted by conservative activist Laura Loomer on Substack. Trump has attacked James repeatedly on social media, and the NY attorney general has since been the victim of death threats. The twice-impeached former president also verbally attacked James before entering the courtroom on Oct. 17.
The angry ex-president called James a lunatic and accused her of defrauding the public despite being under multiple gag orders, including one that prohibits from commenting publicly about court staffers, issued by state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron earlier this month.

“This is an attorney general, Letitia, that went out and campaigned on ‘I will get Trump, I will get Trump no matter what,’” said Trump. “People took tapes of her because they couldn’t believe her ranting and raving like a lunatic. This is the attorney general of New York State, Leticia James, and she shouldn’t be allowed to be attorney general. She’s defrauded the public with this trial.”
James is pursuing civil damages against the former president, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and his real estate company, The Trump Organization, for conspiring to defraud banks and insurance companies by lying about the worth of his business assets. Outside the courtroom, the disgraced president claimed Mar-a-Lago was worth $1.5 billion. According to Forbes, the property is worth $325 million.
Trump — who incited the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in Washington, D.C. that resulted in the deaths of five people — wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday, “America cannot let this happen.”
