Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and we have a bombshell
0:05
decision has just been reached in the Trump trial in New York on the gag order violations
0:11
Before we get started please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those
0:16
little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. Former President Donald Trump has learned his punishment at the hands of Judge Juan
0:25
Mershawn and it's not a steep punishment. It's only a nine thousand dollar fine, a thousand
0:30
dollars for each of the violations. But, and this is the big but in the situation
0:37
the judge has threatened him with incarceration if he continues. That's right. He says if Trump
0:45
continues to violate the gag order then he may have to put him behind bars. This thing is going
0:52
to be massive. It's tough to believe that Trump is going to stop talking and now that Michael Cohen
0:59
has basically been given free reign to needle him and continue to needle him so that Trump can
1:07
respond and maybe get him behind bars. Oh you know Michael Cohen I believe is going to go full force
1:12
now trying to get Trump to respond, trying to get him to take the bait, trying to get him behind bars
1:19
This thing could be huge. It could be massive. Can you imagine a former president of the United
1:24
States behind bars? Just the Secret Service logistics alone on that, alone on that is insane
1:32
Folks, I want you to hear this breaking report and then let me know what you think when you like, comment, share, and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explained America
1:40
We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody. Now if anybody in New York who has control over the judicial system wants to let cameras into the
1:49
courtroom, please do. I don't like interrupting people. The judge just told Mr. Trump to take
1:54
down all of the offending posts. Wow now that's significant especially now it's been 10 minutes
2:00
and the court has resumed. He's made these decisions already. He knows he has another
2:03
hearing coming on Thursday. There are four additional violations. This is going to be a
2:07
stark warning. The question will be of course whether a thousand dollars per fine is going
2:11
to be him saying okay thank you put it on my tab I can do that or will jail time be an actual
2:17
incentive for him not to do something about it. It works two ways though right of course you have a judge's order saying that he must remove them from True Social and two offending posts from
2:25
his campaign website by 2 15 p.m today before court is out of session which I note the judge
2:30
wants to be able to look and see if he in fact is complying before he leaves his site. I would
2:36
suspect it would have more consequence if it does not but again the graduated risk of having jail
2:40
time over your head would be the ultimate penalty. This is a former president United States. Will
2:44
that happen? It's unlikely. Oh yeah this was an obvious call. These were straight down the middle
2:49
violations. There was no gray area or well you could see it either way. The only question for
2:53
me is why did it take this long but now the judge has ruled and I think the bigger question is what
2:58
happens next time? What happens if Trump posts more of these attacks on witnesses and jurors
3:05
and other people who are off limits? I mean the judge in his defense I guess has very limited
3:10
tools. I agree with you Laura. There's no realistic way the judge is going to imprison Donald Trump
3:16
Our team in the courtroom Kara Scannell is sending this in. She says defendants hereby
3:20
warned the court will not tolerate continued willful violations of its lawful orders and
3:24
that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances it will impose an incarceration
3:28
penalty. Yeah so he's laying down the law. He's literally saying that I will draw a line somewhere
3:32
There you go. Bill Brennan do you disagree with the judge's move here? No and I think
3:38
Judge Burchon is unfairly taking heat for the delay. Having spent some time in that room with
3:45
him he's a contemplative man. He's very deliberate but he's also in a tough spot Jake. He has a
3:53
unique defendant here, a former president, first time in history and the idea of jail could have
3:59
an amazing ripple effect. So what he may be doing is he's probably balancing let's get this trial
4:05
close to a verdict. Let me dribble out the thousand dollars per count. Let me see if that
4:11
works and it's a sliding and ascending scale. What he could do though Jake because Judge Burchon
