Donald Trump is in contempt of court and must pay a $9,000 fine for violating his gag order nine times, the judge presiding over the Manhattan hush-money trial ruled on Thursday.
The fine represents the $1,000 maximum per violation allowed under New York state law, state Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said in a written decision.
