On Wednesday, Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial, received an envelope containing white powder at the New York City courthouse on 60 Centre Street. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. when a court officer opened the envelope, causing the substance to spill onto his pants. No injuries were reported, and Judge Engoron was not exposed to the powder. This event, described as a bogus scare, marks a significant security concern, especially considering that it follows a $454 million judgment against Trump and coincides with Trump's attorneys filing a $1,800 motion related to the case. Preliminary testing of the powder deemed it harmless, yet the situation has raised alarms, reflecting on the heightened security measures around judicial figures involved in high-profile cases. This incident comes one month after a bomb threat was made against Judge Engoron.
