A law clerk whom Donald Trump frequently disparaged in social media posts during his civil fraud last year has been elected as a judge in New York City. Allison Greenfield, 38, ran unopposed for one of six seats on Manhattan’s civil court after her candidacy was endorsed by a local Democratic committee, reported the Associated Press. She clinched the seat in Tuesday’s general election. Last year, Greenfield was serving as a principal law clerk for Judge Arthur Engoron when she drew Trump’s ire. Raging in social media posts, Trump called it “disgraceful” that Greenfield was involved in his case and alleged that she had political biases over a photo of her with former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Trump’s lawyers also joined in with making disparaging comments about her, accusing her of serving as “a de facto co-judge” in Trump’s trial. Engoron twice fined Trump $15,000 for violating a gag order.
