Donald Trump's continued posting of attacks on witnesses in his criminal trial is one piece of evidence that suggests he's "angling" for jail time, prosecutors said Tuesday at a contempt hearing in Manhattan where the former president's attorney was told that he was losing all credibility with the court after trying to defend his client's actions.
Trump has repeatedly argued that he should not be subject to a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses and others, including Judge Juan Merchan and his family. He has also at times acted like that gag order doesn't exist, appearing to cross the line in several recent posts on Truth Social in which he attacked Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels and even prospective jurors.
