A new court filing has revealed ā€œhundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemiticā€ threats made to Judge Arthur Engoron, who is currently presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York and trying to get the gag order he imposed against Trump reinstated.

Trump already violated Engoronā€™s gag order twice, costing him $15,000. An appeals court paused the order last week, citing Trumpā€™s ā€œconstitutional and statutory rights.ā€ But the threats have caused serious security concerns for Engoron and his staff, especially his principal law clerk Allison Greenfield.

One voicemail, according to an affidavit filed by court officer Captain Charles Hollon, stated: ā€œTrust me. Trust me when I say this. I will come for you. I donā€™t care. Ainā€™t nobody gonna stop me either.ā€ Another said: ā€œResign now, you dirty, treasonous piece of trash snake. We are going to get you and anyone of you dirty, backstabbing, lying, cheating American. You are nothing but a bunch of communists. We are coming to remove you permanently.ā€

    Honestly, it was that everyone else read it sarcastically and I didnā€™t. Iā€™m autistic though, so thatā€™s not new. Also your picture didnā€™t load, but Iā€™ve been to enough protests to know how the police handle things
