Former President Donald Trump was fined $5,000 on Friday for violating a gag order with a lingering social media post that targeted a key court staffer in his New York civil fraud trial, despite a prior court order to remove it. Earlier that day, prominent pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro entered a guilty plea, confessing to his involvement in a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
