Judge in NY civil trial fines Trump $5,000 for social media post
A judge has fined Donald Trump five-thousand dollars for not removing a disparaging social media post from his campaign website. Nearly three weeks ago, the judge in Trump’s civil fraud trial barred everyone in the case from smearing his court staff after the former president posted a photo of a law clerk on his social media platform. It was removed from Truth Social, but not Trump’s campaign website. On Friday, the judge issued a five-thousand dollar fine and warned of punishment –including the possibility of jail time– if there are future violations by the former president.
