NY v Trump: Judge regrets he 'unfortunately' can't fine 45th president more in gag order ruling
Fox News
Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the NY v. Trump trial, lamented not being able to fine the former president more than $1,000 per violation of his gag order.
The judge detailed in the order that if Trump carries out "continued willful violations" of the gag order, he could face "incarceratory punishment" if "necessary and appropriate."
In the text of his order, Merchan lamented that the fines' costs "unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the contemnor can easily afford such a fine."
