During a recent hearing in the criminal hush money trial involving former President Donald Trump, Judge Juan Merchan addressed concerns regarding a potential violation of the gag order imposed on Trump. The order prohibits Trump from publicly discussing witnesses or jurors related to the case.
The prosecution highlighted eight social media posts and two campaign website posts where Trump had commented on expected trial witness Michael Cohen. Prosecutor Chris Conroy is seeking the maximum fine of $1,000 for each of these posts, arguing that Trump knowingly violated the order despite being aware of its restrictions.
