Justice Merchan only ruled that one out of the four were in contempt. That one, is an interview with Just the News No Noise at or around 6 p. m. on April 22, 2024.
The defendant said, “You know [the judge is] rushing the trial like crazy. Nobody’s ever seen a thing go like this. That jury was picked so fast – 95%o democrats. The area’s mostly all democrat. You think of it as a – just a purely democrat area. It’s a very unfair situation that I can tell you.”
Merchan ruling that violated the gag order and fining him the max amount, $1,000 to be paid by May 10, 2024.
Merchan threatening jail if broken again, “Going forward this court will have to consider a jail sanction,” as he noted the $1,000 fine is not stopping the defendant.
