Hush money trial judge tees up ruling on whether Trump violated gag order, should pay thousands
Fox News
Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over Trump's hush money trial, said he will hear arguments on whether Trump violated a gag order barring him from publicly speaking about witnesses.
The district attorney's office argued Monday that Trump has violated the order three times in social media posts and should pay $1,000 for each violation of the gag order. The prosecutors said Trump should remove the posts and requested that he be held in contempt.
"The defendant is aware of the April 1 order. We know that from various posts he had made," said prosecutor Christopher Conroy before Merchan's ruling.
