Former President Donald Trump has raised uncertainty about whether he would comply with fines if found guilty of violating a gag order in the New York criminal hush money case against him. Trump expressed frustration over the gag order, claiming it infringes on his constitutional rights and labeling it as election interference.
Judge Juan Merchan is tasked with determining potential repercussions for Trump following a recent hearing that addressed alleged breaches of the gag order. The order was put in place to safeguard witnesses, court personnel, and the jury from public criticisms by the former president.
