Trump Judge’s Offices at Courthouse Where Suspicious Powder Was Found
An envelope containing white powder was discovered on Wednesday morning at the New York State Supreme Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, where offices belonging to Justice Arthur F. Engoron are located. Justice Engoron is the judge who presided over former President Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial. The incident prompted a response from police officers after a court officer opened the envelope, causing white powder to fall onto his pants.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the building was not evacuated. The Fire Department was called to the scene to investigate, and they determined that the powder was suspicious. Although the officer exposed to the powder declined medical attention, it is still crucial to investigate the situation to ensure the safety and security of everyone in the courthouse.
This is not the first time that Justice Engoron and the Supreme Court building have been targeted. Just last month, there was a hoax bomb threat at the judge’s home on Long Island. In December, a small fire was set on the fourth floor of the courthouse, leading to an evacuation of three floors. These incidents raise concerns about the safety of those involved in high-profile cases like Mr. Trump’s civil fraud trial.
During the 11-week trial, Mr. Trump openly criticized Justice Engoron on various platforms, including Truth Social, his website. Republican allies also attacked the judge publicly, with accusations of bias and judicial intemperance. Despite the backlash, Justice Engoron ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the civil fraud trial, ordering Mr. Trump to pay a substantial penalty.
In response to the ruling, Mr. Trump offered a $100 million bond to pause the penalty while disclosing that he did not have enough funds to cover the full amount. The New York attorney general argued that Mr. Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars, leading to the significant penalty.
The discovery of the suspicious powder at the courthouse adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious trial and highlights the need for heightened security measures in high-profile cases. It is essential for law enforcement officials to thoroughly investigate the incident and ensure the safety of all individuals involved in the legal proceedings.

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Protesters reach an agreement to dismantle encampment
Protesters at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have agreed to end their pro-Palestinian encampment following an agreement reached with the school, university officials announced on Sunday. The encampment, which had been in place for two weeks, will be dismantled by Tuesday, marking the end of what was believed to be the last standing encampment at a Wisconsin college.
University officials had allowed the encampment to remain on a patch of lawn between Mitchell Hall and a busy thoroughfare on the campus’s southern boundary, opting not to involve law enforcement. This approach differed from the response at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where police were called in to remove tents after negotiations fell through. Despite initial efforts to disband the encampment, Wisconsin-Madison eventually reached an agreement with protesters to voluntarily dismantle the camp prior to commencement ceremonies.
Chancellor Mark Mone of Wisconsin-Milwaukee stated last Wednesday that the university had exhibited “the widest possible amount of patience and restraint.” However, he also cautioned that patience was wearing thin and hinted at potential action by the school. Following discussions with the UWM Popular University for Palestine Coalition, the university agreed to advocate for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, condemn the destruction of schools and universities in Gaza by Israeli forces, and hold meetings with protest leaders regarding university investments.
Additionally, the university pledged to urge the Water Council, a Milwaukee organization of water technology companies, to sever connections with two Israeli government-owned entities, Mekorot and the Israel Innovation Authority. Chancellor Mone serves as the treasurer on the Water Council’s board of directors.
In return for these commitments, the protesters agreed to dismantle the encampment beginning on Sunday and completing the process by Tuesday. They also agreed not to disrupt the university’s commencement ceremonies scheduled for Sunday. In a statement, the protesters expressed their satisfaction with the agreement, stating, “After hard fought edits and careful consideration by the coalition, we determined we had obtained all possible benefits from the encampment.”
The resolution of the encampment at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee represents a successful outcome of negotiations between university officials and protesters. By reaching a compromise that addresses the concerns of both parties, a peaceful resolution has been achieved, allowing for the encampment to be taken down without incident.
