Republican presidential candidate and former US President Donald Trump walks, as his criminal trial over charges that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 continues, at Manhattan state court in New York City April 30, 2024.

The judge fined Trump US$1,000 for each of nine online statements that he said violated his order not to criticize witnesses or other participants in the trial. Prosecutors had flagged 10 posts as possible violations. The judge also ordered Trump to remove the statements from his Truth Social account and his campaign website by 2.15pm EDT .Trump has argued that the gag order violates his free speech rights, and his lawyer Todd Blanche told Merchan last week that the statements at issue were responses to political attacks.

Imprisonment, however, would be an unprecedented twist in the first criminal trial of a former US president. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied having sex with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
