'I do not want to impose a jail sanction,' Judge Juan Merchan warned the former president. He added, 'But I will if necessary.'
Former President Donald Trump complained Tuesday as he learned about a new witness expected to take the stand in his ongoing Manhattan criminal trial.New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is overseeing the trial, which began on April 15 and is now in its fourth week. Trump was indicted by District Attorney Alvin Bragg on alleged hush-money payments he arranged for Michael Cohen, his lawyer at the time, to make to former adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
In April 2023, Bragg said Trump 'fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information—including a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels—from the public during the 2016 presidential campaign.' Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with the payments made to Daniels.
