Judge Juan Merchan admitted in court Monday that former President Donald Trump could become “the next president” — a tacit acknowledgement not only of recent favorable polls, but that his business records trial is occurring in the middle of a presidential election with direct bearing on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
“The last thing I want to consider is jail,” Merchan warned Trump about violating a gag order placed on him. “You are former president and possibly the next president.” Merchan said Monday he would consider jail time for Trump if he continued to violate a gag order he placed on him that bans him from speaking about prosecutors , their staff, other members of the court, Merchan’s family members , witnesses — including Michael Cohen, who has incessantly bashed Trump on social media — and jurors.
Merchan last week held Trump in contempt of court for violating the gag order nine times, fining him $1,000 for each violation. On Monday, he said Trump had violated the order a tenth time. “It’s a political hoax,” Trump said before entering the courtroom. “It’s election interference. This is a ridiculous situation. Not fair. Not fair, but we will fight.”Israeli War Cabinet Votes Unanimously to Continue War in Rafah, Reopen TalksNolte: ‘Fall Guy’ Launches Summer Slump, YTD Box Office Down 43 Percent
