Judge fines Trump $10,000 for violating gag order and says he is ‘not credible’ as witness

In court on Wednesday, Judge Arthur Engoron tells former president: Don't do it again, or it will be worse'

Donald Trump was briefly forced to testify at his civil fraud trial in New York and fined a further $10,000 after the judge found that he had breached a gag order.

The former president, who had already been fined $5,000 over a disparaging social media post about a key court staffer, was reprimanded for comments he had made outside court but denied he had violated the order, wherein he had been ordered to cease posting about court staff.
