Choose Merchan appeared to agree with prosecutors that Donald Trump has dedicated extra gag order violations after being warned that he could possibly be despatched to jail.
The scene in courtroom:
Did he violate the gag order? Justice Merchan requested at one level.
I am making the argument that he did not, Trump’s counsel replied.
And I am not accepting your argument, Merchan fired again.

A Particular Message From PoliticusUSA
Trump has already been warned that future gag order violations may result in him getting locked up, however he has continued to assault witnesses. A particular focus was Michael Cohen, who Trump’s attorneys argued was baiting Trump to reply, which is fascinating on condition that the 2 males should not on the identical social media platform.
The argument that Trump’s decade plus of attacking others on social media was triggered by different folks baiting him is thus far fetched that it’s unbelievable. Choose Merchan is aware of who the defendant is and what sort of temperament Trump has.
Prosecutors solely requested for extra fines, but when Merchan finds that Trump violated the gag order, it is going to be one other step towards incarceration for the previous president.
