Justice Juan M. Merchan conducted a hearing to assess if Trump violated gag order rules, focusing on recent remarks in interviews and news conferences.
Judge warned Trump about potential jail time for continued disobedience, having already fined him $9,000 for earlier violations due to lacking authority for steeper fines.
Incidents highlight efforts to restrain Trump from attacking legal case participants, like a previous incident where he criticized a main witness outside the courtroom.
