Donald Trump vor dem Prozessbeginn auf dem Weg ins Gericht.

Weil er wiederholt gegen eine Schweigeverpflichtung verstieß, ist der frühere US-Präsident Donald Trump wegen Missachtung des Gerichts zu einer Geldstrafe von 9000 Dollar verurteilt worden. Trump war es zuvor untersagt worden, sich öffentlich über Zeugen, Geschworene und andere Beteiligte an seinem New Yorker Schweigegeldprozess zu äußern. Gegen diese Anordnung verstieß Trump nach Einschätzung von Richter Juan Merchan neunmal. Die Staatsanwaltschaft machte sogar zehn Verstöße geltend.

Das Urteil erging zu Beginn der zweiten Woche der Zeugenaussagen in dem historischen Fall. Die Staatsanwaltschaft in Manhattan wirft Trump und seinen Mitarbeitern vor, an einem illegalen Plan zur Beeinflussung des Präsidentschaftswahlkampfs 2016 beteiligt gewesen zu sein, indem sie negative Berichte über den Kandidaten Trump durch Schweigegeldzahlungen unterdrückten und dafür Geschäftsunterlagen fälschten.

Trump erklärte sich für nicht schuldig. Neben Trump war auch sein Sohn Eric im Gerichtssaal anwesend. Es war das erste Mal, dass ein Familienmitglied ihn zu dem Prozess begleitete.
