TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors in Donald J. Trump's criminal trial have accused him of violating a gag order seven times by making social media posts attacking witnesses and others involved in the case. The judge will consider the matter next week, as well as previous allegations of gag order violations. Trump's lawyers argue that his comments are political speech, while prosecutors argue that his posts risk inspiring violence or harassment. Earlier this week, prosecutors asked the judge to fine Trump $3,000 for three previous violations of the gag order.
