00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 - Former US President Donald Trump's lawyers
00:04 missed a deadline to seek prompt permission
00:06 from a New York court to challenge a gag order
00:09 against Trump related to a $250 million civil fraud case.
00:13 Justice Arthur and Goron imposed a gag order
00:16 on October 3rd to prevent Donald Trump
00:18 from making comments about court staff
00:20 following numerous threats and harassing messages
00:22 spawned by Trump's remarks about a law clerk.
00:25 Now, after a two week hiatus
00:26 during which Trump's social media commentary
00:28 about the clerk had led to anti-Semitic
00:30 and hateful messages from his followers,
00:32 an appeals court panel reinstated the gag order.
00:35 Trump's lawyers argue that the gag order inflicts harm
00:37 as they are unable to discuss the law clerk's interactions
00:40 with the judge, which they claim indicates bias.
