The judge in President Donald Trump's election-tampering case should double his jail time whenever he breaks a court-imposed gag order, a law professor has said.New York University lecturer Stephen Gillers told Newsweek that Judge Tanya Chutkan should first fine the former president and, if it doesn't work, move towards jail time.
Trump had said he didn't think Meadows would turn on him like the other 'cowards' who have agreed to testify.As the Meadows and Barr comments have not been removed from Trump's Truth Social page, Judge Chutkan could consider them both to be a violation of her order.Gillers said that it is too early for Chutkan to start jailing Trump.'Incarceration as a penalty would be too harsh for keeping the Barr and Meadows posts online.
