Looking at the way this is going, I’m genuinely starting to wonder if Donald Trump ends up jailed for contempt sooner rather than later. It seems Merchan’s patience has been exhausted.

Nah, he’ll get another paltry $5k fine that is unlikely to ever be paid.

Iirc NY law puts a $1000 cap on fines for contempt in criminal cases.

So the slap on the wrist will be even gentler than that.

If it happens at all.

Jail and prison time are both possible though.
