Judge Slaps Trump With Fine for Violating Gag Order in Fraud Case - eviltoast
"Make no mistake: future violations, whether intentional or unintentional, will subject the violator to far more severe sanctions,” wrote the judge

Former President Donald Trump received a $5,000 fine on Friday for violating the gag order put in place by Judge Arthur Engoron to protect his staff and his courtroom’s proceedings.

$5000. What bullshit.

    What’s the average punishment for what he did? Perhaps it’s a $5k fine. I don’t have a clue.
