Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.

A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.

    He’s not getting sentenced for this, it’s a civil trial to assess damages. His business presence in NY will get sold off to pay the debt, and he’ll have to resort to grifting his political contributors to keep up his lifestyle.

      Correct, this one is civil and no charges, but I was talking overall when he is convicted in one of the criminal trials. And the GOP is using the fake impeachments/Hunter to distract from all of it, the criminal is going to put him away, but I feel like he is going to be fined BIGLY in NY and then almost certainly lose his appeal.
