Prosecutors in the hush money case against Donald Trump are asking the judge presiding over the case to fine the former president for violating his gag order.
The Hill has more:
Assistant District Attorney Chris Conroy said the former president in three recent Truth Social posts violated a gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan barring him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff and the judge's family.
Conroy asked that Trump be fined $1,000 for each post and be reminded he can be jailed if he continues violating the gag order. The judge has not yet ruled.
“The defendant is aware of the April 1 order. We know that from various posts he had made,” Conroy said.
Trump attorney Todd Blanche insisted the posts in question don't violate the gag order, however.
“He is responding to salacious, repeated, vehement attacks by these witnesses,” Blanche said.
