So the trial of Donald Trump in New York broke down today after lunch, and the lawyers for both sides have been in and out of private meetings with the judge. This all happened after Donald Trump doxxed the court clerk, attacked her on social media, called her out by name and posted a link to her social media.
Ever since that happened, it seems Trump has been forced to take the post down, and a limited gag order has been placed on him.
Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order, which applies to all parties in the case and pertains only to verbal attacks on court staff. It came after Trump recirculated a disparaging social media post about Engoron’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield.
“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate” and not tolerated, Engonon said.
A very limited gag order, basically says you can't attack people verbally. Just don't do it.
Why this is significant is that this is a first gag order placed on Trump so far, and definitely the first time a former president has been told not to attack people, under the penalty of the law.

"Schumer's girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately!!" he wrote. Despite his claim, there is no evidence of a relationship between Schumer and Greenfield beyond taking a photo together at one point."

Digging into it now but it appears there’s a rumour about the clerk being Schumer’s girlfriend.
