As Trump readies to take the stand in his civil fraud trial, he and his lawyers are intentionally provoking the judge, including courting jail time.

    Any normal defendent would be in jail though, probably before the trial even started, but definitely after calling a judge names while in court. I’m simultaneously shocked and not at all surprised he isn’t.

      Why would he have been in jail prior to trial?

      They don’t do pre-trial detention for fraud, and the only way for this trial to lead to jail time is a (deserved) contempt charge.
