Donald Trump was called to the witness stand on Wednesday during a civil fraud trial in New York City to answer questions related to a gag order, and a judge said he found the former president's responses not "credible" and fined him $10,000 for violating the order.

Justice Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the case, issued the fine after Trump made a comment to the press about a person "sitting alongside of" Engoron, which Engoron suspected was a reference to his clerk, according to a reporter from Politico who was sitting in the courtroom.

Engoron issued on Oct. 3 a narrow gag order in the case in response to Trump targeting his clerk Allison Greenfield on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump had previously posted a photo of Greenfield and a link to her Instagram account, baselessly referring to her as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) girlfriend.

“Schumer's girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield [sic], is running this case against me. How disgraceful!" Trump wrote in the now-deleted post. "This case should be dismissed immediately!!"
