Judge holds Trump in contempt for violating gag order, threatens jail time before trial resumes

The jury will see a ledger that characterized the payment to Stormy Daniels as a legal expense with prosecutors arguing it was former President Donald Trump’s way of concealing it from voters.

Judge should let Trump spend lunch breaks in jail with a Salad.

[@Donman_02]

That will get him elected, itll show that democrats are acting like 3rd world dictatorships jailing political opponents.

[@Dapper_Dean]

that would be a nice little t0rture.

Obama said the Hush money Trial makes Trump's polls skyrocket. Don't fool play.

[@andie_pants]

Well it's a good thing the judge gave Trump a stern talking-to. That'll teach him a lesson! 🤦‍♀️

Stop threatening judge. Do it. Enough. Show American justice is not political.

Isn`t it past your jailtime, Donald?

your such a beta cuck hes gonna win and theres nothing u can do about it

[@teecee9113]

This is way beyond a joke now. The judge is just giving him empty threats. Anyone else would have been in jail a long time ago. Its ridiculous. Just put him in jail. Do it.

[@wadeswope449]

As it would come back to bite them in the arse, they wouldn't dare jail Trump. That would complete his martyrdom!

[@auntymarushkafah]

Yep. Can't be a REAL martyr unless.

[@DeadCat-42]

That's a violation of his pre-trial release and he should remain in jail until his trials are complete.

30 days x10 contempt violations. 300 days of no trump sounds soooo good.

Biden does a job that is notorious for aging you and you get an average of 6 hours of sleep per night, gets ridiculed for being called "sleepy." Trump falls asleep in court and FOX praises him for being brave and call it unfair treatment.

You can do it Donald! Get on that phone and start typing away. Please tell us about the jury and how you feel about the upcoming witnesses! I want to read and hear everything you have got to say. No filters.

[@patriot4usa]

Trump can't tell you about the upcoming witnesses because the prosecution won't disclose who they are and the corrupt judge is allowing that. This is unheard of in almost all cases but it's standard practice in commie New York.

[@kaysons9736]

Lock up Trump.

American people don't understand that the Democrat judge and prosecutors trust the serial perjurer Michael Cohen to take the oath to tell the truth.

[@Ohr-Ein-Sof]

[@BlindSquirrel425]

The poll is fatally flawed by poorly worded questions, if the parties share equivalent concern for democracy. The news media rarely present the details of polling, such as the actual questions being answered.

[@delmonicofarquhar9893]

"Mr. Trump, you have violated your gag order once again, but because a monetary fine has not deterred you and incarceration could possibly enshrine you as a martyr, I am instead going to remand you to the holding room attached to this courtroom where you will be given a pencil and some spiral-bound notebooks. You will remain there you will write out a simple statement for me." "What should I say in the statement?" "You will simply write the following: 'I will NOT violate my gag order again.'" "That's it?" "Yes. You will write it one million times. Bailiff!"

[@ivyqueen9198]

At this point this is all on the judges who have done nothing more than fine him or threaten him with jail. He doesn't learn from fines and doesn't pay attention to threats. He thinks he is above the law, therefore will do what he wants. This has been known for a long time, so for him to continue to violate any judicial orders is on the judges for doing nothing more than slap the air in front of his face.
