Donald Trump faces the possibility of jail if he is found guilty of contempt of court on Tuesday morning.
Prosecutors have accused the former president of violating a gag order in the hush money trial at least seven times by attacking witness Michael Cohen and the jury.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has asked Judge Juan Merchán for a fine of $1,000 for each position. Punishment could range from a warning to a stay behind bars.
Following the contempt, former National Enquirer editor David Pecker will return to the stand to finish his testimony about the ‘catch and kill’ plots allegedly coordinated between Trump and the tabloid.
