A judge in New York has come out to warn Donald Trump that he could be placed in jail if he continues to violate a gag order during his trial over alleged hush money payments.

Justice Juan Merchan recently handed a written order to the former president telling him the court will consider a jail sanction if he does not keep to the terms of the order.

According to him, the violations from Trump are a direct attack on the rule of law, and it is his job to protect the dignity of the judicial system.

It is the most serious rebuke of Trump so far in his criminal trial, the first to ever be held for an ex-US president.

His words, “It is important that you understand that the last thing I want to do is put you in jail.”

WOW.
