Former President Donald Trump has been convicted on felony charges stemming from hush-money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Former President Donald Trump sat stone-faced in court as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in an attempt to bury stories about extramarital affairs that arose during his 2016 presidential campaign. Jurors over the course of a month heard testimony about sex and bookkeeping, tabloid journalism and presidential politics.
Merchan expanded the order on April 1 after Trump lashed out on social media at the judge’s daughter, a Democratic political consultant, and made false claims about her. Trump was held in contempt of court and fined a total of $10,000 for violating the gag order 10 times over the course of the trial. The judge told Trump that future gag order violations could send him to jail.
