‘Boxing Himself In’: Former US Attorney Warns Judge Will Look ‘Feckless’ If He Doesn’t Jail Trump Over Gag Order

Former United States Attorney Brett Tolman warned on Monday that the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s trial has placed himself in a situation where he must jail the former president if he violates the gag order against him again.

Judge Juan Merchan on Monday found Trump violated the gag order for the 10th time, warning next time he would consider imposing a jail sentence on the former president. Merchan must jail Trump if he does not want to appear weak while emboldening the former president by not following through on his threat, Tolman said on “America’s Newsroom.”
