Donald trumps criminal trial. The witnesses, the receipts, today, prosecutors began by actually arguing the defendant should be held in contempt again for new fresh Gag Order Violations even after he lost the last Gag Order Clash on tuesday. Prosecution looking at statements that trump put out about witnesses. As well as attacking the jury itself. Prosecutors say trumps violations are corrosive to the fair trial that he deserves and that the system requires. They also accuse them of creating an air of menace that could affect these jurors. Also denouncing persistent and escalating rhetoric. Now the judge found that trump lost his previous defense about this. Ruling that he did violate the gag order, fining him about 9,000. And that was just this week. Trump has clearly broken the rules. I say that again, not as a criticism, but based on what we have observed in the trial. What the judge has ruled. Here he was just last night. I dont think there has ever been a more conflicted judge. Cr

I think it could be theres a chance that this could be one of the single most unfair, unjust things to happen to a candidate but i am with judge kavanaugh and i look forward to a vote. For people to come out of the woodwork from 36 years ago and 30 years ago and never mention it, all of a sudden it happens, in my opinion, its totally political. President there calling those allegations totally political. Lets get right to cnns abby philip at u. N. Headquarters. Abby, for days the president had held his tongue. We saw that change the end of last week. With developments over the weekend now, the president here clearly doubling down on his Supreme Court nominee. Absolutely, jim and poppy.
