'Trump is ruled in contempt'

Former President Donald Trump's bad day in court made the front pages of several U.S. newspapers on Tuesday. "Trump is ruled in contempt," the Houston Chronicle says, as the "judge orders him to pay $9,000 and warns of jail risk if he further violates gag order," the Los Angeles Times adds. In the trial itself, "Trump witness tells of tactics to buy silence" from a porn actress and Playboy model, The New York Times says. The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, tucks in a front-page column about tricking "ChatGPT into being my boyfriend," and finding "he got spicy fast."

The Times also has a front-page story on the surprising effect of looser business rules in Havana: "Communist Cuba grasps a lifeline: capitalists."

The Charlotte Observer dedicates Tuesday's front page to the fatal shooting of four law enforcement officers as a state-federal task force went to execute a warrant. Four other local and federal officers were shot and wounded in the standoff.
