Breaking news from Capitol Hill: former Special Counsel Jack Smith is set to appear publicly before the House Judiciary Committee, putting Donald Trump’s legal troubles back in the spotlight.
Let’s be clear—Trump is not in jail right now. But the pressure is visibly getting to him. Judges across multiple cases are warning him to stop attacking witnesses and court officials. In New York, Judge Juan Merchan has already found Trump in contempt of court nine times for violating a gag order, fined him $9,000, and issued a stark warning: keep it up, and jail is next.
Instead of backing down, Trump doubled down—attacking the judge at rallies, posting angry all-caps rants online, and calling the courts “crooked.” Prosecutors say he’s trying to intimidate witnesses. Judges are clearly losing patience.
At the same time, Trump’s second-term policies are being blocked by federal courts, with unusually sharp rulings saying he is not above the law. The result is a dangerous collision: a president who refuses limits versus a legal system that enforces them.
For the first time, the unthinkable is on the table—a U.S. judge seriously considering jailing a sitting president for contempt. And if Trump keeps screaming at the courts, one judge may finally decide: enough.
