Trump Found in Contempt of Court

Former President Trump was found in contempt of court in his New York City Hush Money case by Judge Mershan for violating his order against commenting about the case. Trump faced a financial penalty of a thousand dollars for each violation and had to delete the social media posts in question, which he complied with. The judge warned that jail time could be a necessary punishment if Trump continued to defy the order, although this outcome is viewed as unlikely.
