This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Oct. 20, Engoron fined Trump $5,000 after finding he had not taken down a post disparaging the law clerk, and warned that future transgressions could bring “far more severe” sanctions including jail.
The judge, when he originally imposed the gag order, said that comments directed at his staff were “unacceptable, inappropriate and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Cohen acknowledged under questioning by an attorney for the former president that he has a financial incentive to criticize his ex-boss but defended his credibility as he testified in the trial.
Habba on Wednesday asked Cohen about how much money he made from his political podcast and two books he wrote since bitterly cutting ties with Trump and becoming one of his fiercest critics.
Cohen’s testimony could bolster the attorney general’s argument that Trump, his company and several of its executives unlawfully inflated property values.
Cohen pleaded guilty to tax fraud, campaign violence violations and perjury in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The original article contains 718 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 76%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Just waiting for Trump to not pay this like all his other bills and watch as the legal system decides to fine him for not paying fines because they don’t have the balls to put him in a cell.
Oh no, not $10,000, he’ll never financially recover from that… oh nevermind some moron just donated more than that to him, he’s fine now.
Seriously, what’s it going to take for them to finally throw him in jail? How many more times does he need to ignore court orders and threaten the safety of jurors, judges, and lawyers before they do something with actual consequences for him? If they’re going to keep fining him they need to add a zero or two on there if they want him to actually stop.
The supreme court is extremely corrupt. What do you expect from every lower court when the top is bought and paid for by the oligarchy of which Trump is a front man stooge. This is all just a game of distractions created to control the conversation and maintain the lack of laws and protections at the abysmal state they have been in since the 1980’s. The entire point of everything the GOP touches is the loopholes that allow 750 billionaires to rob the country blind. Everyone that aligns with this is either bought and paid for, or a convenient idiot. The clown show distractions all have fixed outcomes secured well in advance. That is why nothing ever comes of the constant barrage of radical headlines. The headline is not the purpose; controlling the rhetoric is the only goal.
I’ll just leave this here:
And if he does, his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They NEED the case to go through clean
Should be sanctioned daily until he’s in compliance. Where did they find this judge?
It’s random selection. Reminder that Judge Engoron was the judge that hit the Trump Org with a default judgement and ordered the wholesale dissolution of his company.
So while this looks like a pittance (and it kind of is, TBH), this judge has already taken Trump to the cleaners.
I know it’s random, but she’s leaving her staff out in the rain. POTUS deserves a harder time in court than anyone else.
So UNFAIR, that deranged judge. Send money now!
