Justice Juan Merchan has threatened to jail the former president, saying the fines seem to be not enough.
Donald Trump on April 30 repeated his claims that prosecutors are working to derail his bid for the White House.
Those statements are “deliberate shots across the bow to anyone who may come to this courtroom to tell the truth about defendant and what he did,” Mr Conroy said., when he held the Republican presidential candidate in contempt of court for social media posts that questioned the jury selection process and insulted his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who is expected to be a crucial witness.
“I don’t think there’s ever been a more conflicted judge - crooked and conflicted,” he said at a rally in Michigan on May 1. On May 2, Mr Conroy said Trump violated the gag order on four separate occasions last week by referring to Mr Cohen as a “liar” and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, another witness, as a “nice guy” in statements to news media.
