In today’s Quickcast:
The judge in former President Donald Trump’s so-called "hush money" trial held the former president in contempt again this morning for addition violations of the gag order. As the trial resumed for its third week, Judge Juan Merchan warned Trump that he is risking jail for future violations. The former president railed against the gag order as he headed into court. Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with payments his former lawyer Michael Cohen paid to adult film Star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 Presidential election. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing.
Five ships are sailing into Port Miami for a week of fun. For the first time ever, Fleet Week is taking over Miami.
"We got picked up from camp Le Jeune on the 30th and we have been sailing here ever since," says Lance Corporal Alexander Peterson.
The Lance Corporal, from Colorado, works in communications for the Marines.
"We do a lot of running around with grunts, you know, like the people with weapons, when I’m not on the ship," he says.
LCpl Peterson and thousands of sailors, marines, and members of the Coast Guard will spend the week in Miami, meeting with the public, soaking up the sun, and of course, doing a little bit of showing off.
"A week of showing the capabilities of the maritime forces," says LCpl Peterson.
The inaugural Fleet Week Miami brings five ships to South Florida.
The USS Bataan, USS Leyte Gulf, USS Normandy, Coast Guard cutter Seneca, and the USS Harry S. Truman, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, anchored offshore.
"I think it’s lots of fun you know I think it’s really going to be a really cool experience," says LCpl Peterson.
