Trump lawyers dismiss death threats as ‘irrelevant’ to federal gag order
Prosecutors warned judges about his fraud trial threats. His attorneys called it ‘irrelevant information’
Donald Trump’s supporters unleashed a wave of death threats and antisemitic and homophobic messages to the judge overseeing his fraud trial, as well as his chief clerk, according to a state court filing this week.
A filing to support New York Justice Arthur Engoron’s opposition to a freeze on a gag order in the case includes a statement from the court’s top security official, who has collected “hundreds of threats, disparaging and harassing comments and antisemitic messages” that followed the former president’s harassment.
Federal prosecutors – who are seeking a separate gag order – shared those threats with the federal appeals court judges who will decide whether Mr Trump should be gagged in his election interference case.
But on Friday, the former president’s attorneys dismissed those threats as “irrelevant”.

Trump is a cult leader. Much like Charles Manson, all he has to do is speak, and there are carzy cultist who will do what he wants.
Trump: "Stand back and stand by". The Proud Boys are an armed and violent hate group at Trump command. There are many metally ill people that listen to their leader and they are also standing by for Trump to speak.
Charles Mason... Some kind of canning cult? 😉
A bricklaying cult. Why do you think “build the wall” became such a rallying cry?
There's already a bricklaying cult... Well they call themselves a fraternal order, whatever that means. 😁
Damn you autocorrect! Thanks for replying.
Agree with most of this.
Can we collectively stop pinning this stuff on mental illness though?
Maybe I watch too many interviews of Trump supporters talking, or listen to them at work. They say crazy things and Trump is able to connect--or more accurately, use them. But you are right, there are many who are not crazy and support Trump. They just give a small knowing smile when they hear their fellow supporters doing the crazy talk.
