Mary Trump , niece of former President Donald Trump , knocked prosecutors decision to argue against a possible incarceratory punishment for her uncle on Sunday after a judge ruled that he violated the terms of a gag order during his hush money trial.
Judge Juan Merchan , who found nine violations and fined Trump $9,000, warned the former president that he could face jail time if he continues to violate the gag order.
Prosecutor Christopher Conroy, who argued on Thursday that Trumps violations were deliberate , noted that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg s office isnt seeking jail time for the former president as it prefers to minimize disruptions to this proceeding .
I think Donald is doing exactly what hes being given permission to do and what hes always been doing, Mary Trump told MSNBC s Ali Velshi , who noted that the former presidents attacks have continued against Merchan and Bragg and added the two are not protected by the orders.
Trump continued: Nothing stops him because nobody is stopping him. It seems absolutely absurd to me that the prosecution is going out of its way to argue that there should not be an incarceratory penalty at this point. Because what is that financial fine going to do? Nothing.

She added that the judge himself pointed out that a fine is not a deterrent for her uncle, noting that hell pay that fine all day long as $1,000 per offense is the maximum fine allowed by law.
So the offenses will keep piling up unless and until something serious is done, Mary Trump said.
