Judge Again Finds Donald Trump In Contempt And Warns Of Jail Time For Violating Gag Order

A judge again found Donald Trump in contempt of court for violations of a partial gag order.

Trump was fined $1,000 and ordered to remove a Truth Social post by 2:15 p.m. ET today.

The judge in Trump’s hush money case, Juan Merchan, also warned the former president of possible jail time.

“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail,” Merchan said. “You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well.”

Merchan fined Trump $9,000 last week for nine violations of the gag order, which restricts the former president from commenting on potential witnesses, court staff, the judge’s family and most members of the prosecution team.
