The former US president had been threatened with jail after a judge said he broke a gagging order not to make public comments about members of court staff. The Republican's legal team said it had been an 'inadvertent' mistake.
Donald Trump has been fined $5,000 for failing to delete an 'untrue and disparaging' claim online about a court clerk in his New York civil fraud case. The former US president had earlier been threatened with jail over the post. Judge Arthur Engoron issued the penalty after previously warning Trump he could be imprisoned for breaking a gagging order which banned those involved in the case from making public comments about members of his staff.
However, it emerged on Friday that it remained visible on the Republican's official 2024 campaign website for a further 17 days. Trump's legal team apologised and said it had been an 'inadvertent' mistake that no-one on his team had deleted it.
