Trump trial: Judge to decide if former president violated gag order

Published April 23, 2024 7:00am ET



Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will urge a judge on Tuesday at a hearing to hold Donald Trump in criminal contempt for allegedly violating a gag order in the former president’s hush money case in New York.

Bragg has claimed Trump violated the order at least 10 times and has argued to Judge Juan Merchan that a contempt finding should be accompanied by sanctions of $1,000 per gag order violation and a warning that additional violations would result in a punishment of prison time.
