Donald Trump was fined US$9,000 on Tuesday for contempt of court at his trial in New York, after the judge considered that the ex-president had violated his ban on attacking witnesses and jurors.
Judge Juan Merchan delivered his decision to Donald Trump at the opening of the hearing Tuesday morning, as this trial for hidden payments to a former porn star in the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign enters its third week. In his written decision, the judge assures that he will not tolerate new violations and threatens the Republican candidate for the November presidential election with “incarceration” in the event of a repeat offense.
