Former President Donald Trump continued to lash out at the wife of Judge Arthur Engoron on Friday, doubling down on a conspiracy theory promoted by far-right blogger Laura Loomer.
“Judge Engoron’s Wife deleted her account yesterday, because what she said, in any other Court in the Nation, would call for an immediate Mistrial with sanctions against the Judge and the Attorney General,” declared Trump on Truth Social. “We demand to see her account before it was deleted, and all other Family Members likewise. Judge Engoron is a Trump Hater and Puppet for Letitia James, all wrapped up in one!”
The post followed Trump’s assertion that an X account that posted side-by-side pictures of an older woman painting the words “Fuck Trump” on a brick wall and a bald Trump in a prison jumpsuit belonged to Dawn Engoron on Thursday.
“This is the Judge’s Wife and Family that are putting these things out,” declared Trump. “I am not entitle to a Jury under this Statute. Can this be happening
Al Baker, a spokesman for New York’s Office of Court Administration issued a statement on Thursday unequivalently denying that the account in question belonged to Engoron’s wife.
“Justice Engoron’s wife has sent no social media posts regarding the former president,” said Baker. “They are not hers.”
The claim that the account belonged to Engoron could be traced back to Loomer earlier this month. Loomer, who has twice run for Congress and lost, became well-known on the far-right for wild claims, including suggesting that the Parkland, Florida mass shooting was a “false flag” operation.
The conspiracy theorist never provided any evidence to suggest that the account belonged to Engoron, simply asserting that she had “Uncovered screenshots from the X account of Dawn Marie Engoron, the wife of Leftist NYC Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the civil fraud against President Trump.”
