NEW: Judge in #Bragg prosecution of #Trump for hush-money payments enters order prohibiting Trump from being able to post discovery materials to social media without getting permission from the Court.
Judge Merchan further orders that Trump can view certain discovery materials only in the presence of his attorneys. #legal
@GottaLaff what happens when (not if) Trump doesn't comply?
@herid It's up to the judge. A warning, then fined for contempt, most likely, I guess. I'm not a lawyer.
@GottaLaff I am just wondering what the judge can really do in such situation. I assume Trump doesn't care about fines.
@herid @GottaLaff contempt under NY state law is potentially up to 30 days in jail and a $1000 fine. Would they impose that if he keeps talking? Who knows.
@Lassielmr @GottaLaff a fine of this size would mean nothing to Trump. Going to jail would but it would be very appropriate I find it almost impossible to imagine the judge will actually do it.
@herid @Lassielmr Right. He won't jail him. He could fine him, and right again, Trump won't care.
@herid Hold him in contempt, jail him if he resists.
