Judge Juan Merchan found Donald Trump in contempt on Tuesday for violating a gag order nine times, imposing $1,000 fines for each violation and warning the defendant about the possibility of jailtime for further violations. Manhattan prosecutors had asked the judge to hold Trump in contempt for alleged violations of the order barring him from speaking out against witnesses, jurors, and others. Under state law, Merchan could fine Trump up to $1,000 or jail him for up to 30 days .
One of the allegedly offending posts was one in which Trump purportedly quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters as saying, “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury.” The presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s post wasn’t a repost but apparently typed out and distributed to his followers. Notably, Trump didn’t simply quote Watters but added his own language to the purported quote.
