Trump trial to resume with contempt hearing before first witness returns to stand

The first witness in former President Donald Trump's New York criminal trial is expected to retake the stand Tuesday morning, but only after a hearing in which the judge in the case will examine a batch of Trump's recent social media posts.

Prosecutors say the 11 posts violated a gag order in the case, which forbids Trump from commenting on witnesses, jurors and others involved in the proceedings.

Many of the posts, all from the last few weeks, include derogatory statements about adult film star Stormy Daniels and former attorney Michael Cohen, key witnesses in the case. One post from April 17 included a reference to potential jurors who were under consideration for the case at the time.
