Donald Trump simply acquired held in contempt of courtroom for violating a gag order in his felony hush cash case — and whereas he solely has to pay fines for now … the choose is threatening jail.
The ex-Prez acquired slapped with some sanctions Tuesday in NYC, the place a courtroom imposed a $9,000 wonderful — a thousand for every violation of the gag order that is been issued on this case, which calls for everybody shut their yap and never make public statements … together with DT.
Whereas it would look like small potatoes — and it actually is for a man like Trump — hizzoner held the prospect of non permanent incarceration over Trump’s head if he saved working his mouth.
The choose reportedly mentioned … “While $1,000 may suffice in most instances to protect the dignity of the judicial system … it unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the contemnor can easily afford such a fine.”
I simply wish to say Trumps secret service have to be the toughest working guys on the planet. I can not think about the stress concerned with protecting Trump protected on the streets of New York and all over the place. Y’all are badasses and we admire you 👊 pic.twitter.com/XYpuG9uJVA

There’s been a number of hypothesis over what the prospect of Trump being jailed would logistically appear to be from the Secret Service aspect of issues — seeing how he is afforded 24/7 safety as a former POTUS.
As we reported … the Secret Service says it’s prepared to move into the pokey with DT if push involves shove — and whereas the potential for that appeared slim, it now seems like a really real looking end result if Trump does not keep quiet — and realizing him, he most likely will not.
A lot of the violations of the gag order that Trump acquired dinged for at the moment come courtesy of his gripes on Fact Social — which frequently get screenshot and posted on X and elsewhere. The choose has ordered the offending posts to be yanked instantly by Trump and his staff.
He is referred to as the gag order unconstitutional, and like every little thing else … he is referred to as the trial at giant a witch hunt. Trump has additionally attacked the choose particularly … suggesting he is corrupt.
Now, that very same choose has hit again … and he says he’ll do much more if Trump retains at it.
