NYC 'Ready' To Jail Trump If Judge Finds Ex-Prez In Contempt: Mayor

NEW YORK CITY — New York City will be ready to jail Donald Trump if the former president is yet again found in contempt of a gag order, said Mayor Eric Adams.

Adams' promise came Tuesday during his scheduled "off-topic" news conference — an event that roughly coincided with porn star Stormy Daniels taking the stand in Trump's Manhattan hush-money trial.

"We have to adjust whatever comes our way, but we don't want to deal with a hypothetical," Adams said.

"But they're professionals. They be ready."

The prospect of New York City's jails holding an ex-president moved closer to a reality this week after trial Judge Juan Merchan for the 10th time found Trump in contempt of court for disparaging jurors.

"As much as I don't want to impose a jail sanction, I want you to understand that I will have to if necessary and appropriate," Merchan told Trump.

The warning did little to stop Trump Tuesday from standing in front of Lower Manhattan courtroom and lashing out about District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against him.

(Trump also posted against congestion on Truth Social: "It is a big incentive not to come - there are plenty of other places to go.")

Inside the courtroom, Daniels took the stand to face questions over her contention that she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 — a story that prosecutors said he tried to silence through a $130,000 hush-money payment when he ran for president a decade later.

Daniels testified the encounter was "brief," awkward and it ended with her shaken.

"He said, ‘Oh it was great, let's get together again honey bunch,'" Daniels said. "I just wanted to leave."

Trump has repeatedly denied having sex with Daniels.
