During the hush money trial involving former President Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels, Justice Merchan addressed an issue concerning Trump's behavior in court. The judge noted that Trump was 'cursing audibly' and 'shaking his head visually' which he deemed contemptuous and potentially intimidating to the witness. This observation led to a private warning to Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, about the behavior. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the situation by threatening to hold Trump in contempt if such actions continued.
