Judge Accuses Donald Trump of Lying Under Oath (msn.com)

Judge Arthur Engoron fined former President Donald Trump $10,000, finding his testimony "not credible" during a hearing about whether he violated a gag order Wednesday afternoon.

Engoron held a hearing Wednesday about whether comments Trump made to reporters constituted a violation of a gag order he imposed on the former president barring him from publicly discussing members of his staff after an attack against his clerk on social media earlier in October.

Trump told reporters that Engoron is "a very partisan judge with a person who's very partisan sitting alongside him," reported NBC News. Engoron interpreted his remarks to be an attack against that clerk, Allison Greenfield, who has been subject to criticism from the former president's legal team.

Trump took the stand under oath to defend his remarks to Engoron.

Trump argued that his comments were not in reference to Greenfield, but instead about his former attorney Michael Cohen, who testified against him this week, according to reporter Molly Crane-Newman. Engoron, however, did not believe his defense, accusing him of providing untruthful testimony, noting that his clerk is sitting "much closer" to him than Cohen.

"As a trier of fact, I find that the witness is not credible," Engoron said.

Newsweek reached out to Trump's campaign for comment via email.
