Judge Threatens To Jail Donald Trump For Violating Gag Order

Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Donald Trump's "hush money" case in New York, has ruled that Trump has defied his gag order ten times already. Now he's put Trump on notice that he needs to pay a $1,000 fine and remove an "offending statement" from his Truth Social account, and that "future violations of its lawful orders will be punishable by incarceration." -- This is election interference at the highest level. Nothing to see here: just the Democrat regime threatening to put the leading presidential candidate in jail for talking. This will be the surest way for Democrats to guarantee President Trump’s re-election. "If appropriate and warranted" — yeah, right. This gag order is inappropriate and unwarranted. How many points would Trump's poll numbers go up if they tried to put him and his Secret Service detail into a jail cell.
