What's next for Trump after 10th gag order violation

CEASE-FIRE AND WHAT THIS MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH COULD MEAN FOR THE ISRAEL HAMAS WAR AND THE REGION OF >>> TURNING TO THE MANHATTAN CRIMINAL TRIAL. DONALD TRUMP, JUDGE ROCHON FOUND THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR VIOLATING A GAG ORDER FOR THE 10th TIME. AN ISSUE IN STATEMENTS TRUMP MADE IN APRIL 22nd INTERVIEW. HE SAID THE JURY WAS PICKED SO FAST, 95% DEMOCRATS. MOSTLY ALL DEMOCRAT TRUMP GOES ON TO SAY THE VERY UNFAIR SITUATION. THE JUDGE HAS ORDERED FROM TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1000 FINE BUT IN THE JUDGES OWN WORDS, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. IN ACCORD ORDER ON MONDAY IT'S APPARENT THAT MONETARY FUNDS WILL NOT SUFFICE TO DETER THE DEFENDANT FROM VIOLATING THE SPORTS LAWFUL ORDERS. THEREFORE THE DEFENDANT IS HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE IF APPROPRIATE AND WARRANTED FUTURE VIOLATIONS OF ITS LAWFUL ORDERS WILL BE PUNISHABLE BY INCARCERATION. HERE IS HOW TRUMP REACTED AFTER THE PROCEEDINGS PERK >> I HAVE TO WATCH EVERY WORD I TELL YOU PEOPLE. HE ASKED ME A SIMPLE QUESTION, I LIKE TO GIVE IT BUT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS JUDGE HAS GIVEN ME A GAG ORDER AND SAID YOU WILL GO TO JAIL IF YOU VIOLATE IT. >> CBS NEWS CAMPAIGN REPORTER AND ATTORNEY CATRINA KAUFMAN JOINS ME NOW. CATRINA, 10th GAG ORDER VIOLATION HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? AND REMIND PEOPLE THE WAY THE FORMER PRESIDENT CHARACTERIZED IT, NOT EXACTLY WHAT THE GAG ORDER IS. >> THE GAG ORDER IS MEANT TO PROTECT THE WITNESSES, THE JURY IN THIS CASE, THE COURT STAFF, THEIR RELATIVES AND TRUMP CONTINUES TO VIOLATE IT. THIS IS THE 10th TIME THE JUDGE HAS HELD HIM IN CONTEMPT. WITH ANOTHER DEFENDANT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE LET IT GO THIS FAR WITHOUT REALLY GIVING SOME FORM OF JAIL TIME BUT THE JUDGE KNOWS HOW SIGNIFICANT THAT WOULD BE AND THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS TO IMPRISON A FORMER PRESIDENT, POTENTIAL FUTURE PRESIDENT AS HE NOTED TODAY. AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE THE STEP THAT HE SAYS HE HAS TO PROTECT THE JURY, THE INTEGRITY OF THIS TRIAL, OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ITSELF. THERE IS A LOT OF GRAVITY HERE >> IS A PROSECUTION WEIGHING IN ON THE QUESTION OF JAIL TIME OR NO JAIL TIME WITH THE GAG ORDER? >> SO FAR THE PROSECUTION HAS NOT ASKED FOR JAIL TIME. THE FIRST ONE THEY WANTED TRUMP TO REMIND HIM THAT JAIL WAS ON THE TABLE. THE LAST ONE THEY JUST WANT TO STICK WITH THE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINES BECAUSE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT WOULD BE DISRUPTIVE TO THE PROCEEDINGS. WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW TRUMP WOULD REACT, THE SPECTACLE IT WOULD CREATE HOW HIS SUPPORTERS MIGHT TAKE IT SO THEY REALIZE WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE THE COURTROOM HELP MIGHT AFFECT THE TONE OUTSIDE THE COURT. >> THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE SIDELINES WHAT ABOUT THE ACTUAL FIELD? THERE WAS TESTIMONY TODAY, WHAT HAPPENED? >> TODAY WE GOT TO THE BUSINESS RECORDS PART OF THE CASE. WE ARE ON WEEK FOUR AND IT'S INTERESTING THE FIRST DAY WE TALKED ABOUT THEM. JEFF WAS A FORMER COMPTROLLER OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND DEBRA HANDLED PAYROLL. WE FINALLY LEARNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND THE SCENES, HOW THESE REIMBURSEMENTS TO MICHAEL COHEN CAME ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION. WE HEARD HOW ELLEN WEISEL BERG WHO WAS THE FORMER CFO OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION INSTRUCTED THEM TO PAY: BACK HE DETAILED THE MONETARY BREAKDOWN OF THAT, HOW IT'S GOING TO BE DONE IN MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND VERY IMPORTANTLY HAD TO COME OUT OF TRUMP'S VERY PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT. AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY HAD TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW PROCESS TO SEND THESE CHECKS TO THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE TRUMP HAD TO SIGN THEM HIMSELF BACK TO THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND ON TO MICHAEL COHEN. AND DEBRA HAD AN INTERESTING DETAIL SHE SAID TRUMP NEVER SIGNS A CHECK HE DOESN'T WANT TO. IF HE SEES A CHECK HE DOESN'T WANT TO HE'S KNOWN FOR TAKING A BLACK SHARPIE AND WRITING VOID ON IT AND SENDING IT BACK. REALLY SHOWS HE DID IN FACT ACQUIESCE AND APPROVE OF THESE CHECKS TO MICHAEL COHEN. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS, SCHEME AND THE JURY SAW A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION OF THAT. INVOICES, CHECKS, DONALD TRUMP SIGNATURE ON THEM AND IS
