A US court has reinstated a gag order that prevents Donald Trump and his team from criticising court personnel in his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.

Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the trial and claims his chambers have been "inundated" with threats, had issued the limited order in October.

But it was put on hold two weeks ago by an appellate judge, who said he had concerns over free speech rights.

Judge Engoron imposed the gag order after Mr Trump posted disparaging remarks about the judge's principal law clerk, with her name, photo and a link to her social media, as he sat in court on the trial's second day.

Following the order, Mr Trump's lawyers sued the judge and called for a mistrial over "astonishing departures from ordinary standards of impartiality".

A four-person appeals court panel upheld Judge Engoron's limited gag order on Thursday.
