The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, is facing new sanctions as prosecutors claim he has violated a gag order seven times. This comes as Trump is currently on trial for his alleged involvement in covering up a sex scandal.
Manhattan prosecutors presented their complaint to New York Justice Juan Merchan, stating that Trump’s social media posts have repeatedly violated the gag order. Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass brought up the issue on the third day of the trial, expressing concern about Trump’s posts on platforms like Twitter. Assistant District Attorney Christopher Conroy even suggested a new order from the judge to address this problem.
Trump’s attorney, Emil Bove, defended his client’s actions by arguing that the posts were in response to attacks from former attorney Michael Cohen, who is a potential witness in the case. Bove claimed that reposting articles did not violate the gag order. However, the prosecutors are considering various sanctions to address these repeated violations, including a $1,000 fine for each infraction.
The trial is ongoing, and the prosecutors will present their arguments for the sanctions on Tuesday. Trump’s posts have been deemed political in nature by his defense team, adding another layer to this highly publicized trial.
