Following the tenth violation of the gag order, Indian-Americans are urging Trump to be kind to the judge.

May 7 :
Following the former president's tenth violation of a gag order during court hearings in his hush money prosecution, Indian-American supporters of Republican presidential contender Donald Trump for 2024 urged him on May. 6 to show proper respect to Acting Justice Juan Merchan.

For the infraction, Merchan levied a $1,000 fine against Trump and stipulated that the sum be settled no later than May 10th, the business day in question. Trump has previously been fined $9,000 for nine prior breaches of the judge's gag order, and this is the latest punishment.

"Mr. Trump, I want you to know that the last thing I want to do is put you in jail. Going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sanction," Merchan added, emphasising that he did not want to do that. Not only are you a previous president, but you're also in the running to be the next president. "I am fully aware of the gravity of this decision, but ultimately, I must attend to my duties," the judge remarked. "I want you to understand that I will impose a jail sanction if necessary and appropriate," the judge explained, his voice tinged with reluctance.

His style and language in court need to be changed, according to AD Amar, head of the Indian-Americans for Trump 2024 group.

Statement from Indian Americans for Trump 2024 asks President Trump to show necessary courtesies to Acting Justice Juan Merchan, who has publicly shown a change in courtroom manner and tone. They think the judge is being sincere in his appeal based on his remarks today, in which he recognised Trump as a former president with presidential aspirations. Indian Americans for Trump 2024 hopes that by extending this kindness to the judge now that he has changed his mind, it may sway more voters to choose Trump for president. According to Indian Americans for Trump 2024, this is their ultimate objective.

A $1,000 fine or up to 30 days in jail, or both, may be levied for violating a gag order, which is typically placed on a defendant to prevent him or her from speaking out regarding possible witnesses or those connected to the jury or the judiciary.

Prosecutors have indicated that Trump lied about his company dealings with Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, in order to cover up the fact that Michael Cohen was reimbursed $130,000 to keep her quiet before the 2016 election. Claiming he had no involvement with Daniels, the ex-president entered a not guilty plea.
