The judge in Donald Trump’s so-called hush money trial held the former President in contempt of court again Monday, warning him that future violations could result in jail time.
The latest $1,000 contempt fine was related to comments Trump made last month. The judge said Trump questioned the integrity of the proceedings by saying the jury was picked fast and consisted mainly of Democrats.
Trump was previously fined $9,000 for nine earlier violations in posts on Truth Social and his website.
Outside the courtroom, Trump indicated he would continue to speak his mind despite the judge’s warning. “Frankly, our Constitution is far more important than jail. I’ll do that choice any day,” Trump said.
