The fine was imposed for repeatedly violating a gag order barring him from making public statements regarding witnesses, juries and others in a hush money case.

Along with this, the court also warned him of putting him in jail if he violates the order again. Presidential elections are to be held in America at the end of this year. In this there is a direct contest between current President Biden and former President Trump. Prosecutors had accused Trump of 10 violations. However, Justice Juan M. Merchan found him guilty on 9 counts. Justice Marchan said in the order that the court will not tolerate deliberate violation of lawful orders. The court gave Trump time till Friday evening to pay the fine.

Along with this, the court ordered Trump to remove seven inflammatory posts from his social media account 'Truth' and two inflammatory posts from his campaign website by Tuesday afternoon. The court will hear violations of other gag orders against Trump on Thursday. The fine is a harsh rebuke to the former Republican president, who has repeatedly said he was exercising his free speech rights.
