Irked Trump trial judge blasts ex-president's lawyer for asking to criticize clerk again: 'It's a shame you've descended to this level'

• The judge in Trump's fraud trial lashed out, again, at his lawyer.
• The judge has issued a gag order, prohibiting Trump from speaking poorly about his staff.
• Trump's lawyer, on Friday, asked permission to criticize her.

A baffled, irked judge overseeing Donald Trump's family company's fraud trial in Manhattan criticized one of his lawyers again for his repeated attacks on his law clerk.

"It's a shame you've descended to this level," New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron told Trump's lawyer Christopher Kise.
