The former American president, Donald Trump, has mocked the statement of the judge of the New York court that he will jail him for violating the order that prohibits him from attacking witnesses or members of the jury in the process where he is being tried for falsifying business data for him. hid the bribe to former porn actress Stormy Daniels.
"Honestly, our Constitution is much more important than prison. It's not even close. I will make that sacrifice every day."
Judge Juan Merchan said shortly before the trial began against the former president that he would jail him if he continued to speak publicly to the jurors. But the former president has already violated this order and has been fined $10,000 since the start of the trial, $1,000 for each violation.
"I don't want to impose a prison sentence and I've done everything I can to avoid doing that. But I will do it if necessary," said judge Juan Merchan.
At the age of 77, Donald Trump has become the first former US president to face criminal charges. Prosecutors say the payments to Stormy Daniels were intended to keep her from talking about her alleged relationship with Mr Trump as voters prepared to go to the polls eight years ago.
Trump has denied the charges against him, but if found guilty he could be sentenced to probation or up to four years in prison. He also faces other criminal charges, for obtaining classified documents, trying to overturn the election result in Georgia, and conspiracy against democratic institutions in the US.
