The combustible atmosphere in the civil trial of former President Donald Trump on allegations of fraud turned into open fireworks Monday in a New York courtroom as Trump took the stand.
Legal analyst Lisa Rubin posted on X one snippet of the sniping that took place as Judge Arthur Engoron vented to Trump defense attorney Chris Kise his displeasure with the 2024 presidential candidate’s answers on the stand.
“Mr. Kise, can you control your client? This is not a political rally … Maybe you should have a talk with him right now,” Rubin quoted Engoron as saying.
Kise instead said it would be better to let the “former and future chief executive of the United States” answer.
Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell posted another bit of byplay on social media.
“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will. I will excuse him and draw every negative inference that I can,” Engoron said, according to Lowell.
Lowell also noted that at one point, Trump attorney Alina Habba said in open court that if the state prosecutor wanted better answers, he should ask better questions.
That prompted Engoron to order her to sit down.
“Very, very unfair trial, and I hope the public is watching,” Trump said then, according to Lowell.

Welcome to NYC democrats. They control all aspects of the city and state.
I still find it hard to believe the Judge hasn’t been removed and the angry black female sanctioned for contempt.
A political show trial at its finest.
I’ve seen rapists and murderers afforded more respect than this POS judge is giving Trump.
Judge Freisler gave Sophie Scholl more respect.
One look at the lunatic judge tells the whole story! Words are not needed!
And Judge Engoron has the plaque “His Honor” on his door, which needs to be ripped off the door. There is nothing honorable about this thug.
So we want all on the stand to filibuster instead of answering the questions while under oath?
This guy’s a ‘’hanging judge’’.
The kind who should be hung.
No, but it is totally permissible when it involves a kangaroo court conducting a show trial.
GIVE THEM ENOUGH ROPE-—THEY HANG THEMSELVES.
*comment self-moderation engaged.*
Andrew McCarthy-—”NY justice is the Soviet way”:
“This whole NY justice system is fraudulent in the sense that these are elected Democrats. NYAG Latetia James is an elected Democrat who campaigned for high office on a vow that she would use the power of the state to “get Trump,” which is the Soviet way of going about your business.”
Yes... nobody filibustered. He just gave detailed answers to the open ended questions and said things they don’t want to hear. Are you on the side of the tyrant judge here who ruled 20 acres of beachfront property in palm beach is worth only 18 million?
Don’t be stupid.
When it is an absurd clown show Stalinesque joke of a trial like this one? Absolutely.
If the leftist idiots are going to be this unhinged, there's no reason Trump shouldn't continue doing everything he does to cause them to reveal more and more of their mental illness.
So we want all on the stand to filibuster instead of answering the questions while under oath?>>> Well the oath says whole truth. And that takes a while to get out. Not a trial not a judge and not a court.
Engmoron looks like someone out of Central Casting for a lunatic on the run from his asylum. And he’s keeping in character. What a travesty of the law!
