Donald Trump returned to court for a fourth week of his Stormy Daniels criminal hush money trial on Monday.
Jeff McConney, a top executive in Trump’s business, took the stand to detail the inner workings of the former president’s organization.
Mewnwhile, Judge Juan Merchan once again found Trump in contempt and fined him another $1,000 while threatening jail as a consequence for a second time.
Merchan blasted Trump for ‘continued and willful’ violations barring comments on witnesses and others he said might threaten the ‘fair administration of justice.’
‘I cannot allow that to continue. As much as I do not want to impose a jail sanction….I will if necessary and appropriate,’ he said inside court at the start of the 12th day of Trump’s trial.
On Friday the former president listened as Hope Hicks, his former aide, gave dramatic evidence.
