The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial fined him $1,000 on Monday for violating his gag order once again and sternly warned the former president that additional violations could result in a jail term.
The judge said he would hold the former president in contempt of court for a 10th time for violating a gag order and said he would consider jailing him for further violations.
Justice Juan Merchan said the $1,000 fines he has imposed so far do not seem to be deterring Trump from violating the gag order, which prohibits him from making public comments about jurors, witnesse s and families of the judge and prosecutors if the statements mean to interfere with the case.
