A contempt hearing will focus on Trump's rhetoric about witnesses and jurors in his hush money trial outside of court. Trump faces potential contempt charges for 4 additional statements violating a limited gag order. Statements included comments on Cohen, the jury's demographics, and witness David Pecker. Prosecutors argue Trump's remarks amount to subtle messaging to influence the trial. Judge Merchan previously fined Trump $9,000 for contempt violation. Merchan threatened future violations could result in jail time for Trump.
