It’s officially happened.
Donald Trump has been placed in contempt of court and has been fined $9,000 for repeatedly violating a gag order that prohibited him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors, or other people connected to Donald’s criminal trial in New York.
The judge warned that any further violations of the gag order would result in possible jail time for Donald Trump.
Judge Juan Merchan, the man overseeing the case, wrote that he didn’t want to strip Trump of his First Amendment rights, especially considering the fact that Donald Trump is currently a candidate “for the office of President of the United States.”
However, Merchan seemed to think that enough was enough when it came to violating the gag order, even if Donald Trump is a VIP.
“It is critically important that defendant’s legitimate free speech rights not be curtailed, that he be able to fully campaign for the office which he seeks and that he be able to respond and defend himself against political attacks,” Merchan wrote.
Do you think the judge’s decision was reasonable, or is it simply another instance of liberals unfairly using the law to attack Trump?
