Donald Trump has been reprimanded by the Judge and fined for contempt of court in his New York hush money trial and warned he could face jail.
Donald Trump has been fined by the judge in his hush money trial and warned he could face prison time if he keeps breaking the rules.
On Tuesday , Judge Merchan said Mr Trump has violated that order on nine occasion – seven times on his own social media account and two posts on his campaign website. “He knows about the order, he knows what he’s not allowed to do, and he does it anyway,” Mr Conroy said.Mr Conroy said a prison penalty was not yet being sought “but the court should, “remind him that incarceration is an option should it be necessary”.
“There is no dispute that President Trump is facing a barrage of political attacks from all sides including from the two witnesses who are referenced in the early posts,” said Mr Blanche. “You’ve presented nothing. I’ve asked you eight or nine times to show me the exact post he was responding to. You’ve been unable to do that even once,” the judge said at times seemingly becoming exasperated.
