Former US president Donald Trump appears in court during his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments at Manhattan Criminal Court on Apr 30, 2024 in New York City. The judge overseeing Donald Trump 's criminal hush money trial fined the former US president US$9,000 for contempt of court on Tuesday and said he would consider jailing him if he continued to violate a gag order.
The fine - US$1,000 for each of nine online statements that Merchan said violated the order - was just short of the US$10,000 penalty that prosecutors had requested for posts that insulted likely witnesses and questioned the impartiality of the jury.The judge also ordered Trump to remove the statements from his Truth Social account and his campaign website by 2.15pm .
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied having sex with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.Roughly two dozen Trump supporters rallied outside the courthouse on Tuesday morning, chanting his name and waving banners that read"TRUMP 24". A local Republican organisation had called for supporters to turn out after Trump complained that few people were protesting the trial.
