The DA’s office slammed Trump Thursday for allegedly breaching a court order that bars him from disparaging jurors and witnesses in the case “seven more times” in the past few days, calling it “ridiculous.”

Trump’s lawyer Emil Bove claimed Trump did not make any “willful violations” of the judge’s gag order, which has some “ambiguities.”
Conroy said the posts clearly flout the order and asked Justice Merchan to hold Trump in contempt of court, which could lead to fines and theoretically jail time of up to 30 days.
“It’s ridiculous. It has to stop,” Conroy said.
