The ruling came at the start of the second week of testimony in the historic criminal case.
Former President Donald Trump speaks with the media at the end of the day's proceedings in his trial at Manhattan criminal court , Friday, April 26, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK — Donald Trump was held in contempt of court Tuesday and fined $9,000 for repeatedly violating a gag order that barred him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his New York hush money case.
Prosecutors had alleged 10 violations, but New York Judge Juan M. Merchan found there were nine.
