    While violations of the gag order can be punishable by up to 30 days in prison under New York state law, prosecutors only asked Merchan to fine Trump $1,000 per violation for now—the maximum fine allowed under state law—though they also suggested the judge warn future violations could be met with imprisonment

    Basically total bullshit. He should be locked up for how much he’s done it. Anyone else would be.

      Pretty sure being held in contempt also violates the conditions of his pre-trial release, so… Yeah.
