Former President Donald Trump returns to court for his Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial.

Trump was fined $9,000 for repeated gag order violations, and the judge threatened him with “incarceratory punishment” if “”if necessary and appropriate” should Trump continue to violate the gag order.

The judge also allowed Trump to have May 17 off from the trial to attend his son Barron’s graduation.
