Judge Juan Merchan is set to preside over a hearing on Tuesday regarding allegations that former President Trump violated the gag order imposed on him in his criminal trial. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, and prosecutors claim that Trump breached the gag order by posting on social media.
Before the trial commenced, Judge Merchan had issued a gag order prohibiting Trump from making public statements about witnesses, counsel, court staff, or jurors. Despite this, Trump allegedly made multiple public statements in violation of the order, prompting Bragg to request fines and potential incarceration for further violations.
