Donald Trump's numerous gag order violations during his hush money trial will be a factor in his sentencing, a senior New York legal figure has told Newsweek.Judge Michael J. Obus, a justice for the criminal section of the New York County Supreme Court, said that the ten times that Trump has been found in criminal contempt of court will be considered by Judge Juan Merchan when sentencing Trump on July 11.
''On the other hand, a conviction of many counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, in service of presidential election fraud, is a very serious matter. Unprecedented, I guess, in our court, but certainly serious,' he said. 'This defendant was also held in criminal contempt for ten incidents that took place during the trial, and he hasn't , and I do not expect he'll be showing any remorse.'That would also affect his sentencing, said Obus.
