Former President Donald Trump on Monday shared a link listing the home address of New York Attorney General Letitia James while accusing her of committing a “miscarriage of justice.”
Trump’s smearing of James, the prosecutor behind his ongoing financial fraud trial, is nothing new. But his Truth Social link to a Substack post by far-right journalist Laura Loomer reportedly might raise a few issues.
In an attempted gotcha piece on James’ purchase of a home in Brooklyn, New York, Loomer posted documents that list the property’s address, information that would normally be redacted to protect the subject. In June, James said she had received death threats as she pursued the case against Trump, currently the Republican presidential front-runner for 2024.
The Daily Beast suggested that by sharing Loomer’s piece, the quadruply indicted former president might be violating a gag order in the New York case ― not to be confused with the gag order he got slapped with for his federal election-conspiracy trial.
Judge Arthur Engoron specified that Trump was not to attack court staff after he mocked a photo of a law clerk with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). “While James is not a staffer, she is central to the indictment,” The Daily Beast notes.
The anti-Trump outlet Meidas Touch called attention to the apparent doxxing. The site called on Engoron “to expand his gag order to protect NY AG Letitia James.”
Doxxing, or the release of someone’s personal information with malicious intent, is generally not considered illegal if the information is publicly available, according to U.S. News & World Report. In this case, the information about James’ address could already be accessed by the public, independently of Loomer’s post.

My post #51 has the link to the info Laura Loomer posted.
I don’t understand what that means. Can you explain?
