Donald Trump warned he could be jailed after judge fines him $9k for violating gag order
Donald Trump was held in contempt of court yesterday and fined $9,000 (€8,400) for repeatedly violating a gag order that barred him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his New York hush-money case. And if he does it again, the judge warned, he could be jailed.
Prosecutors had alleged 10 violations, but New York Judge Juan M Merchan found there were nine.
