Former President Donald Trump received a $5,000 fine on Friday for violating the gag order put in place by Judge Arthur Engoron to protect his staff and his courtroom’s proceedings.

$5000. What bullshit.

    It’s not the sort of fine he will get. It’s the fine he’s getting for a first offense for a minor violation (this was something existing since before the gag that was left up).

    It’s a shot across the bow to show that the weapon is loaded and the judge will use it.
