Prosecutors want Trump to be held in contempt — but what does that mean?

(NEXSTAR) — Tuesday morning, before former President Donald Trump's hush money trial resumed, the New York judge in his case held a hearing on the prosecution’s request that Trump be held in contempt of court and fined at least $3,000 for allegedly violating his gag order.

Trump currently faces 34 felony counts for reimbursements prosecutors claim his company made to his lawyer Michael Cohen for hush money payments. Those payments were allegedly disguised in records as legal expenses.
