The DA's team told Judge Merchan today that they "will be seeking an order to show cause why Defendant should not be held in contempt” for violating the gag order. Trump has been posting on Truth Social about expected witnesses in the case. |
Good. I think the fine should be $10,000 for each violation. Payable in cash immediately before trial resumes. Any bets on how long before Trump explodes? I say before the week is out. |
Can't he be thrown in jail for violating it? |
Yes but I don’t think the judge will do that. |
Bragg has filed his motion to hold Trump in contempt for recent Truth Social posts criticizing witnesses in the case.

He’s starting to test my agreement that everyone deserves a fair trial. |
Keep going. You’ll just get him more voters |
Again, he's not convincing anyone who isn't already voting for him, so screw that. To let him off the hook just because he's running is the entire reason he's running. |
Trump is doing everything he can to make it look like he isn't being treated fairly for political reasons so that he can appeal before the election and then he hopes he will win and "be immune". That's my guess. |
$1,000 fines to trump are like $1.00 fines to rest of us. He violated the gag order again today. Unless he is found in contempt and spends a weekend at Rikers he will not stop. His SS will protect him in solitary confinement |
If the SC gives him absolute immunity then there will be a 2nd American revolution! |
