NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Donald Trump launched yet another scathing attack against New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the hush money case, and his daughter, Loren Merchan. 

The ex-POTUS continues to argue that Loren's history of working with Democrats is somehow influencing her father. 

Donald Trump calls Juan Merchan a 'highly conflicted judge' as he attacks his daughter once again

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, March 30, Trump shared a link to a New York Post article discussing Loren's political affiliations, demanding immediate action against her father.

He wrote, "This is a disgrace to our Legal System. Judge Merchan should be immediately sanctioned and recused, and this fake 'case,' only kept alive by the Highly Conflicted Judge, should be completely dismissed right away—THERE IS NO CASE, THERE IS NO CRIME."

The White House hopeful added, "Andy McCarthy, Jonathan Turley, all Legal Experts and Scholars universally agree that this is a case that should have never been brought."

Trump proclaimed, "IT IS A POLITICAL, ELECTION-INTERFERING WITCH HUNT, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER HOAXES, HEADED UP AND COORDINATED BY THE DOJ, AGAINST THE POLITICAL OPPONENT OF CROOKED JOE BIDEN IN ORDER TO HELP GET THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES RE-ELECTED!"



 

Judge Merchan issued a partial gag order on March 26, prohibiting Trump from discussing witnesses and others involved in the case. However, this did not deter him from launching attacks against Merchan and his family.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg even urged the judge to clarify whether the gag order extended to Trump's attacks on his daughter and to impose sanctions if necessary.

In a March 28 letter, he stated, "[T]his Court should make abundantly clear that the March 26 Order protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order. Furthermore, the Court should warn the defendant that his recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist."

Trump's accusations against Loren reached a fever pitch when he suggested that her financial interests were tied to his downfall.

In a Truth Social post, he wrote, "Maybe the judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to ‘Get Trump,’ and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer," as per Rolling Stone

The hush money trial, set to start on April 15, is expected to span roughly two months. Trump stands accused of paying hush money to Stor

Internet reacts to Donald Trump launching yet another attack  Loren Merchan

One wrote, "Stalking and harassment is a crime in NY. Hope the judge's daughter presses charges," and another said, "And what will happen? Nothing. It’s infuriating." 

A person wondered, "So what happens if some maga moron decides to attack Judge Merchan’s daughter. Will Trump’s lawyers still insist that his posts are his right under the First Amendment? Or will the DOJ do the right thing & have Trump arrested?"

"How did we get a 12-year-old in a 77-year-old body running for president? I hope the judge finally takes him off the street," remarked someone else.
