NEW YORK — The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial has fined him $1,000 for violating his gag order and sternly warned the former president that additional violation could result in jail time.

The fine marks the second sanction for Trump for inflammatory comments about witnesses since the start of the trial last month. He was fined $9,000 last week for nine violations.

Judge Juan M. Merchan warned Monday that additional gag order violations could potentially result in jail time, though he said that was “the last thing I want to do.”

Prosecutors in Trump’s hush money trial are moving deeper into his orbit following an inside-the-room account about the former president’s reaction to a politically damaging recording that surfaced in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign.

I see his bogus birth certificate has surfaced again.

Then there’s the murder of his homosexual chef. Barry’s fingerprints are all over this one. Case was quickly closed.

He is in a 3rd term.. Has been the one in charge. Between that setup and the government making it happen.. And the republicans in congress doing nothing.. Unless God in heaven helps the people of this once great nation.. Unless God wants to save this nation that was formed from Biblical beliefs, and intervenes.. This nation will go the way of all others when greed and corruption takes over.
It is so thick and deep.. If Trump does not come back.. There is no way to save America.. BUT GOD. If God deems it.
