Trump Could Be Jailed Following MeidasTouch Report on Gag Order Violation
Trump failed to comply with a gag order set by a New York Judge, now he is facing the possible consequences
J.D. Wolf 2 hours ago
On Thursday, we reported that despite specific orders to remove a Truth Social Post that Trump made about a law clerk, who works for the New York Judge currently presiding over his civil fraud trial, the post remained up on his website.
Within hours of our reporting, Trump's team had deleted the post, but the New York Attorney General's Office notified the Court of this failure as the post had been up for 17 days after the gag order was first imposed.
The failure to delete the post was a direct violation of the Court's gag order, and this morning, Trump was lambasted by the New York Judge.
According to the Messenger, in court this morning the Judge blasted Trump for his failure to delete the post and asked why Trump should not face "serious sanctions" including fines or "possibly imprisoning him."
NY Daily News court reporter Molly Crane-Newman says Judge Engoron "asked Trump's lawyers why he shouldn't send him to jail or impose other sanctions in light of an incendiary post he ordered him to delete two weeks ago that remained online last night."
Trump attorney Chris Kise said it was an oversight.
The judge will rule later today on the matter.
This story is just breaking, and we will have more soon.
