Former President Donald Trump requested a mistrial on Wednesday in his New York civil fraud trial against his business empire, the Trump Organization.

The motion marks the latest conflict between Trump's legal team and Judge Arthur Engoron, who issued a gag order against the former president that blocks him from publicly commenting about Engoron's law clerk. Trump has been fined a total of $15,000 for two violations of the order by his team.

Engoron also ruled in favor of Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James in a late September opinion ahead of the trial, finding Trump, his two adult sons, and two Trump Organization executives liable for “persistent and repeated” business fraud.

The trial is meant to assess James’s remaining and more narrow claims against Trump and the others, as well as to determine penalties. It's one of six trials Trump is facing as he mounts his campaign for a second term in the Oval Office in the 2024 presidential election.
