“The judge in the Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan on Monday held the former president in contempt and fined him $1,000 for once again violating a gag order prohibiting him from attacking witnesses or jurors. The judge, Juan Merchan, spoke directly to Mr. Trump and warned him that the fines had not stopped him from continuing to violate the order,” the New York Times reports.
Said Merchan: “I find you in criminal contempt for the 10th time.”
He added: “Going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sentence. The last thing I want to do is put you in jail.”
