The wife of far-left New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron is reported to have used a semi-anonymous account on X (formerly Twitter) to post politically-charged attacks against former President Donald Trump. Dawn Marie Engoron, the judge’s third and current wife, has almost exclusively used her X account to attack the former Republican President throughout the New York civil fraud trial her husband is presiding over.
Some of Mrs. Engoron’s most over-the-top posts include depicting Trump sitting in prison while wearing an orange jumpsuit and an image conveying simply “FUCK TRUMP.” Since the revelation yesterday as to her ownership of the X account, most of the posts directly authored by Mrs. Engoron have been deleted.
Judge Engoron has repeatedly accused Trump of using charged-political rhetoric to undermine the legitimacy of his court – going so far as to issue a gag order barring Trump and his lawyers from publicly discussing his partisan court staff.
“In the current overheated climate, incendiary comments can and in some cases already has, led to serious physical harm and worse,” said Engoron at the time he issued the gag order over a month ago.
On Monday, Engoron was the source of an angry outburst in his own courtroom when he slammed his hand on a table and shouted at Trump attorney Alina Habba after becoming frustrated with the former President’s testimony.
The highly partisan nature of Mrs. Engoron’s social media posts adds further credence to assertions made by Trump’s lawyers that the whole New York civil fraud prosecution is politically motivated witch-hunt. New York Attorney General Letitia James made her promise to prosecute Trump a center-piece of of her 2022 re-election campaign. With a rumored eye on the New York governor’s mansion, James has personally overseen much of the prosecution while also turning up the partisan rhetoric surrounding it.
