“Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me,” Trump wrote. “How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately!!”

A screenshot of the post was shared on Twitter, where it quickly went viral. The post included a photo of Greenfield and Schumer, which was originally tweeted on September 27 by a verified account named @JudicialProtest.
After an hour of a closed-door meeting between Trump, his attorney, and the New York State Attorney General, the judge condemned the former president as the trial resumed.
“This morning, one of the defendants posted to a social media account a disparaging, untrue post about a member of my staff. Although I have since ordered the post to be deleted, it has been mailed out to millions of others. Personal attacks of my staff are inappropriate and I won’t tolerate them,” he said. “Yesterday I warned the counsel of this and it was disregarded. Failure to abide by this directive will result in serious sanctions – I will be very clear.”
