Former President Donald Trump was fined $9,000 and warned of potential jail time for repeatedly violating a gag order in his New York hush money case. Judge Juan M. Merchan held Trump in contempt after finding nine violations, cautioning against further infractions. Trump must pay the fine by Friday and remove offending posts from his social media accounts. The trial, alleging an illegal scheme to influence the 2016 campaign, continues with testimony from witnesses. Trump's frustration grows as the trial progresses, with the November election looming. Merchan considers further penalties for additional gag order breaches.
