Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of Donald Trump’s criminal trial over his hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The trial reopened yesterday after a pause over the weekend. It was another lively day with a stern warning from Judge Juan Merchan that additional violations of a gag order barring Trump from inflammatory out-of-court comments about witnesses, jurors and others closely connected to the case could result in jail time.
The $1,000 fine imposed on Monday marks the second time since the trial began last month that Trump has been sanctioned for violating the gag order. He was fined $9,000 last week, $1,000 for each of nine violations. “It appears that the $1,000 fines are not serving as a deterrent. Therefore going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sanction,” Merchan said before jurors were brought into the courtroom.
