New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has scheduled a 9:30 a.m. hearing on an order for the defense to show cause why he should not hold the defendant, former President Donald Trump, in contempt for four public statements he has made about the case.
The hearing comes after the judge found President Trump in violation of his gag order in nine of 10 social media posts flagged by prosecutors, issuing a $9,000 fine on April 30.
