Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.

A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.

It was this judge that put the initial partial gag order in place, and when he did it he basically said, "you can talk shit about me all you want,I believe that too be your right, just don't bring my staff into it."

Then when Trump continued to bring up his clerk, the judge fined him what he was allowed to, which was something like $10k. Wish it could be more, but them's the rules.

As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, the various judges on these cases are giving Trump and team a lot of leeway, because they don't want anything overturned on appeal. This judge has actually shut a lot of nonsense down, while allowing other nonsense to go forward, while being extremely sarcastic about it. He also just told Trump that he won't be able to testify (ie rant) during closing arguments in this case.
