The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial has fined him $1,000 and warned of jail time for future gag order violations. The reprimand Monday opened a revelatory day of testimony, as jurors for the first time heard the details of the financial reimbursements at the center of the case and saw payment checks bearing Trump’s signature. Jeffrey McConney, the former Trump Organization controller, explained how the company reimbursed payments meant to suppress embarrassing stories during the 2016 presidential campaign. The testimony concerns a $130,000 payment from Trump attorney and personal fixer Michael Cohen to porn actor Stormy Daniels to stifle her claims of an extramarital sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier.
