In the hush-money criminal case involving former President Trump, a New York judge has ruled that Trump violated the gag order imposed on the case. This ruling came after Trump made statements about witnesses related to the case, leading to a fine of nine thousand dollars.
The judge’s decision marks a significant development in the legal proceedings surrounding Trump’s involvement in the hush-money scandal. The gag order was put in place to prevent parties from discussing sensitive details of the case publicly.
Despite the contempt ruling, the judge granted Trump permission to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation on May 17th. This decision allows Trump to be absent from court proceedings on that day.
The hush-money case has been ongoing, with various legal challenges and proceedings shaping the narrative surrounding Trump’s actions during his presidency and beyond.
