The hush money trial against former President Donald Trump resumed Thursday morning following a hearing over Judge Juan Merchan's gag order.

Trump's legal team earlier in the morning fended off accusations of him making four additional gag order violations Thursday. Judge Merchan fined Trump $9,000 for 9 separate violations on Tuesday, and prosecutors with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg are now arguing he committed four others in comments outside the courtroom.

In the 10:00 a.m. hour, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Johsua Steinglass continued questioning lawyer Keith Davidson. Davidson represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels in negotiations for a hush money deal with Trump and Cohen ahead of the 2016 election.

Davidson was showed a confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement between Daniels and Trump.  Davidson said that he helped draft it and that the final amount remained $130,000.

Davidson says he made $10,000 from this deal.  He dispersed everything other than his fees to his client, Daniels.
