Consequences for Violating Gag Orders: Trump's Fine and Potential Prison Time
Former President Donald Trump faces two partial gag orders in relation to his upcoming federal trial and civil fraud case. Violations of gag orders have occurred in other notable cases, such as Roger Stone's conviction for posting a photo of the judge on Instagram, and Marilyn Mosby's fine for replying to a critical comment on Instagram. Other examples include a lawyer's violation in the trial of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, a Dallas City Council member's violation in a bribery trial, and CNN's violation in the corruption trial of Manuel Antonio Noriega. In a recent case, former billionaire crypto trader Sam Bankman-Fried was sent to jail for violating court rules by disclosing private writings of a key government witness.
