Donald Trump has ‘tempered down’ social media posts on hush money trial

Donald Trump has “tempered down” on his social media posts relating to the New York hush money trial, says Axios Political Reporter Erin Doherty. “The judge in the case did kind of offer a strong warning against former president Trump,” she told Sky News Australia. Ms Doherty explained the partial social media silencing came after Mr Trump attended two different hearings which were to “consider whether he has had violations” of the gag order placed on him for the extent of the case’s tenure. The judge has warned the former US president “the threat of jail is very real” if he “continues to take to his social media accounts to attack people in his case, such as witnesses and in violation of the gag order he is under”. “The judge continues to hold the threat of jail in front of him,” Ms Doherty said.
