A New York state judge temporarily lifted a gag order on Donald Trump, his sons and his attorneys from discussing the court staff  involved in his state civil case, a move the case’s judge implemented after Trump and his lawyers targeted a court clerk, CNN reports.  Associate Justice David Friedman of the First Judicial Department said in a decision from the bench the stay was warranted “considering the constitutional and statutory rights at issue an interim stay is granted.”

Update 6:54 p.m. ET: That didn’t take long. At 6:44 p.m. ET, Trump posted on his failing social media platform: “Judge Arthur Engoron has just been overturned (stayed!) by the New York State Appellate Division (Appeals Court), for the 4th TIME (on the same case!). His Ridiculous and Unconstitutional Gag Order, not allowing me to defend myself against him and his politically biased and out of control, Trump Hating Clerk, who is sinking him and his Court to new levels of LOW, is a disgrace. They are defending the Worst and Least Respected Attorney General in the United States, Letitia James, who is a Worldwide disgrace, as is her illegal Witch Hunt against me. The Radical and Unprecedented actions of Judge Engoron will keep BUSINESSES and JOBS forever out of New York State. I have done NOTHING WRONG, my numbers were low, not high, I have a COMPLETE DISCLAIMER CLAUSE, their Star Witness admitted he lied and made up this Fake case against me, and the the Attorney General used a ‘Get Trump’ platform in order to run for A.G. & Governor (she failed!). This wicked attack on Democracy must be ended, NOW!”
