Former President Donald Trump faces potential legal consequences for violating a gag order in his ongoing criminal trial, with prosecutors seeking $1,000 fines for multiple social media posts. Additionally, the prosecution may use Trump’s statements as evidence of his disregard for the legal proceedings, potentially swaying the jury against him. Legal experts suggest that the prosecution may also withhold witness information and use Trump’s statements to discredit him and influence the jury. Trump, however, claims the gag order is unconstitutional and unprecedented, but experts argue that the order mirrors existing federal precedents.
