Donald J. Trump, the former president and presumptive 2024 Republican nominee, was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a case stemming from a payment that silenced a porn star.
But, if the judge does opt for house arrest during election campaign season…? The Trump faction has more ammo to lob against the system for ‘election interference!’
Ooh this is an interesting point! I wonder if the continual fines having no effect to stop him from violating the gag order will give the judge a very defensible reason to sentence for something other than a fine.
That’s assuming they actually sentence him to any kind of confinement and not just a really big fine (that he can’t and won’t pay anyway).
I mean, that judge is NOT happy with Trump, and has already lamented the fact that fines mean nothing to him.

Cool. They can do that while he sits in a room or a cell tossing ketchup against the walls.
