Prosecutors push judge to fine Trump again over gag order

Summary

1. Prosecutors in the criminal trial of Donald Trump will request on Thursday that the judge give him another fine, claiming he has again broken a gag order
2. Justice Juan Merchan imposed the order to prevent Trump from attacking jurors or potential witnesses; he has already fined the ex-president $9,000 (£7,200) for violations
3. During Wednesday's break in court proceedings, Trump used a rally in Wisconsin to berate the judge - who is not covered by the gag order - calling him "crooked"
4. The historic New York trial revolves around a hush-money payment made in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who says she had an affair with Trump
5. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal the payment and denies any sexual encounter with Daniels
6. Later on Thursday, the court is due to continue hearing evidence from Daniel's former lawyer, Keith Davidson
