NEW YORK, May 6 — The judge in the criminal hush money trial of Donald Trump said today that he will consider jail time for the former president for additional violations of the gag order after finding that US$1,000 (RM4,739) fines are not working as a deterrent.

Justice Juan Merchan Merchan, who has already imposed US$9,000 in fines on Trump, said during the hearing that he will find Trump in contempt of court for the 10th time. — Reuters
