YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump was found in contempt of court and fined $9,000 after the New York judge overseeing his criminal hush-money trial ruled the former president repeatedly blasted key witnesses on social media in violation of a gag order.
Justice Juan Merchan in Manhattan on Tuesday fined the former president $1,000 for each of nine violations of the gag order and warned that future breaches could result in jail time. Prosecutors sought the penalties after Trump had repeatedly posted on social media about adult film star Stormy Daniels and ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, both key witnesses in the case against him.
“Defendant is hereby warned that the court will not tolerate continued willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment,” Merchan said Tuesday.
