By Michael R. Sisak, Jennifer Peltz, Eric Tucker and Jake Offenhartz, Associated PressFormer President Donald Trump awaits the start of proceedings in his trial at Manhattan criminal court, Monday, May 6, 2024, in New York.
Judge Juan M. Merchan warned Monday that additional gag order violations could potentially result in jail time, though he said that was “the last thing I want to do.” Her testimony Friday was designed to give jurors an insider’s view of a chaotic and pivotal stretch in the campaign, when a 2005 recording showing Trump talking about grabbing women without their permission was made public and when he and his allies sought to prevent the release of other potentially embarrassing stories. That effort, prosecutors say, included hush money payments to a porn actor and Playboy model who both have said they had sexual encounters with Trump before he entered politics.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied sexual encounters with any of the women, as well as any wrongdoing.
