NEW YORK — Former President Trump on Wednesday took aim at prospective jurors in his first criminal trial despite a gag order barring him from making public statements about them.

“’They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Trump posted on Truth Social, giving credit to Fox News host Jesse Waters.

Under his gag order, the former president is barred from “making or directing others to make public statements about any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding.”

Prosecutors have already demanded Trump be fined over three previous Truth Social posts from the former president made in recent days referencing witnesses. The gag order also bars Trump from speaking about them concerning their participation in the case.

Also remove his phone, so no more tweets either.
What the hell was he doing talking to Faux Noise anyway?

2. Damn their fines...

It is contempt and he should be locked up until he apologizes and removes the posts. And, HE has to apologize, not his lawyers. In front of the entire court. Which is what would happen to anyone else. Let's see if it happens to this rich guy...
