Donald Trump was held in contempt by Justice Juan Merchan on Tuesday morning for social media posts and other statements the former president made that violated a gag order imposed in his criminal case.
The judge ordered Trump to pay a $9,000 fine — $1,000 for each violation. Merchan also threatened jail time for future violations.
Before the hush money trial began, the judge issued a gag order that prevents Trump from publicly criticizing likely witnesses, jurors and other people involved in the case.
Prosecutors have accused Trump of repeatedly violating the gag in the days leading up to the trial and during the trial itself.
