Prosecutors file Trump contempt motion

Prosecutors have filed a motion against former President Donald Trump, seeking to hold him in contempt for violating his gag order with recent attacks on potential witnesses, Politico reported Tuesday.

The motion highlights Trump's posts about potential star witness Michael Cohen.
