Re: Trump’s Troubles

Donald Trump was threatened with jail for any future violations of a limited gag order imposed in his falsifying business records case.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan made it clear to Trump that his 10th gag order violation — which he ruled on at the start of Monday’s court session — was going to be the last that would result in only a fine.
“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail,” Merchan said. “You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well.”
The judge noted that jailing Trump would require a monumental effort involving several law enforcement agencies including the Secret Service and New York’s corrections department.
“To take that step would be disruptive to these proceedings,” Merchan added.
Last week, Merchan held Trump in contempt of court for violating the gag order nine times, fined him $9,000 — $1,000 per each violation — and warned him that he could go to jail if he keeps breaking the court’s rules.
