CNN —Judge Juan Merchan handed down his first punishment to Donald Trump for violating the judge’s gag order in the New York hush money trial Tuesday, fining Trump $9,000 for nine violations.
Instead, Davidson negotiated a $130,000 hush money deal with Cohen on Daniels’ behalf, and she did not speak out publicly before the 2016 election.
In his order, the judge warned Trump that he could be imprisoned if he continues to willfully violate the gag order.
“All you have to do is talk to that a**hole Cohen,” Davidson recalled.
His son, Eric Trump, attended the trial – the first family member of the former president to appear during the trial.
