Trump blasts ‘kangaroo court’ as judge considers gag order violation
Quick Glance: Court Hearing on Gag Order Violation Amid Trump-Cohen Feud
  • Judge Juan Merchan will determine whether to penalize Donald Trump for repeated breaches of the gag order preventing the former president from publicly discussing witnesses or jurors in the criminal hush money case.

  • Prosecutors are urging Merchan to impose a $1,000 fine on Trump for each violation and to caution him that future infractions can result in not just additional fines but also potential incarceration.

  • Responding to Trump's social media activity, Cohen, a pivotal prosecution witness, accused Trump of desperation on Twitter, with Trump's legal team justifying his responses as campaign-related.

  • Regarding the gag order infringements, the jury will not be presented with arguments. Merchan specified that if the arguments are not wrapped up by 11 a.m., they will pick up the discussion on the infringements at a later time.

Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
  • Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.

  • Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.

  • While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.

  • Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.
