Topics
Andrew Weissman和Mary McCord讨论了法官就特朗普违反禁言令的裁决，以及上周David Pecker、Rhona Graff和Gary Farro的证词。他们分析了法官的裁决，包括法官驳回特朗普的辩护，认定其转发社交媒体内容构成违规，以及法官对违规行为处以罚款，并警告称可能考虑监禁。他们还讨论了检方在盘问证人时有效地反驳了辩方的质疑，以及未来可能出现的更多违规指控。 Andrew Weissman和Mary McCord详细分析了David Pecker证词中的关键点，包括辩方试图证明Pecker与AMI达成的协议是合法的，没有违反竞选财务规定，以及检方通过盘问Pecker，揭示了其与特朗普之间未向律师披露的秘密协议。他们还讨论了Rona Graff和Gary Farrow的证词，以及这些证词如何支持检方的指控。他们指出，Graff的证词证实了特朗普与Karen McDougal和Stormy Daniels之间的联系，而Farrow的证词则揭示了Michael Cohen如何通过Essential Consulting支付封口费，以及他向银行做出的虚假陈述。

Judge Merchan fines Donald Trump $9000 for violating the gag order, rejecting Trump's arguments that reposts on social media are not his own statements. The judge also considers potential jail time as a necessary punishment due to the limitations of fines.

Shownotes Transcript

Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial is back in session Tuesday, as Judge Merchan fines Trump $9000 for gag order violations. Last week, David Pecker wrapped up his testimony, detailing the catch and kill scheme, and jurors also heard from Trump’s assistant, Rhona Graff, and bank executive Gary Farro. After examining the art of cross-examination, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord note the options available to Judge Merchan as he hears a second set of alleged gag order violations this Thursday. Plus: what Walt Nauta’s grand jury testimony indicates in the Florida documents case.

For further reading: here is Judge Merchan’s decision on the first set of gag order motions.)
