Donald Trump Fined $9,000 for Contempt of Court in Hush-Money Case
The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money case held the former president in criminal contempt for violating a gag order in a series of posts on Truth Social. The gag order barred any attacks on jurors and witnesses. The judge fined Trump $9,000 and warned that he could be jailed for further violations. In a series of posts on his social media platform, Trump criticised that gag order saying it sought to take away his “Constitutional Right to FREE SPEECH.” Another post included an article calling his former lawyer Michael Cohen a "serial liar." Cohen is expected to be a prominent witness in the trial.
