As former President Donald Trump awaits a ruling on whether he will be held in contempt for violating his gag order, prosecutors on Thursday accused him of making four more violations.

The limited gag order, which was issued by Judge Juan Merchan ahead of Trump's hush money trial, prohibits him from making public comments about jurors, lawyers, potential witnesses, court staff and their families.

"We think that it is important for the court to remind Mr. Trump that he is a criminal defendant, and like all criminal defendants, he is subject to court supervision and, in particular, this court's obligation to preserve the integrity of the Criminal Justice System," prosecutor Chris Conroy said last week.


Though the alleged violations were initially limited to Trump's statements on social media and his campaign website, the newest ones announced Thursday center on comments he's made in interviews or live remarks — some in the hallway just outside the courtroom.

'Thank you to Michael Avenatti'


In an Apr. 10 post on TruthSocial, Trump thanked convicted attorney Michael Avenatti for speaking out against Trump's gag order in a social media post that slammed adult film actress Stormy Daniels and his former attorney Michael Cohen, both potential witnesses.

then I would enjoy the jail sentence to be served after the trial....I don't want any more distractions....keep the pressure on him...

He is not physically or mentally handling it that well so far....The fact that people he trusted for undying loyalty are testifying hurts his ego...as does the lack of MAGA protesters supporting him....He is beginning to feel abandoned....which makes me smile.

Will happen.

Whatever the jury decision, the judge could cite him for contempt during the proceedings and send him for jail time for contempt.

Fine him 1k per violation with a warning that if he violated the gag order he would be jailed. If Trump then violates the gag order sentence him to jail time, but then stay confining him to jail until after the trial is over.
