FILE - Former President Donald Trump speaks outside the courtroom in New York, April 30, 2024. A gag order bars him from making public comments on witnesses, jurors and some others connected to the case. The judge found that Trump repeatedly violated the order and he fined Trump $9,000 and warned that jail could follow if Trump keeps it up. The order doesn't stop Trump from talking about the allegations against him or commenting on the judge or the elected top prosecutor. And it doesn't stop him from testifying in court if he chooses.
