Katherine Doyle is a White House reporter for NBC News.

Two new witnesses took the stand Monday on the 12th day of Donald Trump’s hush money trial, shortly after the judge overseeing the case again cited the former president of violating the gag order he imposed last month. Ahead of trial testimony, Judge Juan Merchan found that Trump ran afoul of the order prohibiting him from attacking witnesses and others involved in the case. Trump was fined $1,000 and warned that he could face jail time “if necessary” for any further violations.

The Trump Organization’s former controller, Jeffrey McConney, said he interacted “minimally” with Cohen during his time at the company, but that Allen Weisselberg, the company former chief financial officer, had asked him in early 2017 to send money to Cohen. In the months prior, Cohen had taken out a home equity line of credit to buy Daniels’ story alleging she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
