Summary
Judge Merchan, presiding over President Donald Trump's New York trial, ruled that the President had violated the gag order nine times and fined him for each violation – he also threatened Trump with "incarceratory punishment" (i.e., jail time) for future violations. Have the President's First Amendment rights been violated? The Sekulow team discusses Trump being found in contempt of court, the ACLJ's next case at the U.S. Supreme Court, a mutiny at Columbia University, President Biden's foreign policy – and much more.
