Prosecutors in Donald J. Trump’s criminal trial say he has violated a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses and others close to the case, which centers on a hush-money payment to a porn star. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
So far this morning, it’s all about the prosecution pushing for Contempt charges.
Justice Merchan has repeatedly pushed Todd Blanche to clarify his arguments, only to have Blanche deny that he is saying what he seems to be saying. Trump is very lucky that the jurors are not here for this. Merchan is really dressing down Blanche right now.
Blanche is Trump’s lawyer (for those who didn’t know)

Ouch. When a judge has to tell a defense lawyer that, things are not going well for the defense.
