The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal 2016 election interference case in New York fined Trump $1,000 for his 10th violation of his gag order and threatened him with jail if he continues to violate the order. Trump has been barred from publicly speaking out about potential witnesses and members of the court or the New York District Attorney’s Office. Judge Juan Merchan said, “The last thing I want to do is put you in jail,” adding, “You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president, as well.” But Merchan concluded, “At the end of the day, I have a job to do.”

On Monday, the 12th day of the trial, the court heard from two Trump Organization accounting employees who laid out the paper trail of hush money payments to Stormy Daniels via Trump’s former fixer and attorney Michael Cohen.
