The former president’s appearance before Manhattan Criminal Court comes 24-hours after Judge Juan Merchan found Trump in contempt of court for a tenth time during Monday’s session. Merchan previously fined Trump for nine violations. Trump’s 10th contempt offense occurred before the last order and not afterward. Trump did not push the boundaries after the first gag order ruling.“This court will have to consider a jail sanction,” Merchan cautioned. “At the end of the day, I have a job to do. Part of that job is to protect the dignity of the justice system.”
