* Trump, 76, was indicted on fraud charges last night by a Manhattan grand jury
* He will travel to New York to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon
* Attorney Joe Tacopina says he won't be handcuffs - but may be perp-walked
*************************************************************
After recovering from the 'initial shock' of a grand jury indictment against him, President Trump is now raging about the judge who is expected to preside over the case.
Trump, 76, will be arraigned in Manhattan at 2.15pm on Tuesday on an array of business fraud charges relating to 2016 hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
He has denied any wrongdoing, and says he is the victim of a politically-motivated witch hunt led by the famously Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Yesterday, Judge Juan Merchan was spotted arriving at the Manhattan criminal courthouse in casual clothes last night flanked by two security officers, leading many to believe that he has been chosen for the case.
Merchan previously presided over the Trump Organization fraud trial, where the family business was fined $1.2million on a range of charges.
On Friday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to complain that Merchan 'hates' him and had been 'handpicked' by Bragg and his cronies.

“The point is, if you’re going to be targeted anyway”
Trump wasn’t targeted before he ran as a Republican. He was a happy go lucky Democrat, doing what Democrats do for years. He got awards for not being racist. He was praised for his race relations. He was loved by all the Democrats, until he decided to take a stand against the graft and corruption. THEN HE WAS TARGETED.
Hah! Sounds like a good idea, to me. Most of these so-called "public servants" are self-serving would-be Masters. Their sexual incontinence is symptomatic of their general corruption , which motivates their desire for a career in politics.
How many pr0n stars have *you* "banged"?
How many affairs have *you* had and tried to cover up?
Enquiring minds ...
None of it is illegal
Your public proclamation to be one less vote, for no objective reason that advances the republican initiative makes you....well...
I’m not saying your stupid, because that would be redundant, since you already know...
WE ALL know Trump is not a saint, ARE YOU some sort of SAINT??? JEEZE!!
Still taking shots at the victim I see. You seem to be enjoying this.
Wait until it happens to you.
There is such a thing as dictionary meaning and a generally accepted meaning. When you used the word anecdotally within the context of Biden showering with his daughter the perception was you were trivializing it in my view. That said you followed up with an accurate assessment of him so thank you for the clarification.
Yeah, they just paid her off for nothing.....
Geez dude, look at the guys personal history. If it moves, he’ll nail it. He even admits it on tape. Maybe you can’t see it because your lips are so plastered to his ass that thats ALL you see.
Naw
Ph uck Bragg
Surrender at the beginning of the week to milk the news cycle....
Nobody in this country should be subjected to obvious chickenshit prosecution. I did some research: Unfortunately, prosecutorial misconduct is NOT illegal, Barratry is NOT illegal. In most States they're not even actionable torts. I find this situation outrageous.
So what was the check for? Just because?
How’s bout falacio (and other noxious stunts) in the oval office?
If proven that the NDA and payments were to influence the election they could be treated as campaign contributions which have numerous restrictions. There is some issue with corporate campaign contributions also. Honestly it was to get indicted in front of his name. That being said, it’s still breaking rules. It all goes back to the OP that banging porn stars and/or paying them off just gives people you dislike the ammo to take you down.
I don’t give a shit whose pussy was grabbed, ARE YOU INSANE this is the about the ABSOLUTE LOSS of our Bill of Rights, the absolute TRASHING of our constitution and justice system and YOU are concerned about some pussy that was grabbed REALLY??? You are on the WRONG site you need to jump over to the DU!! MORON!!!
How would one read minds?
understood. I didn’t mean to minimize it. I guess it goes with the whole use of ‘alleged’ or ‘suspected’. They have something on video with multiple witnesses and it is still alleged until conviction. That is all I meant.
Yes, Albany, the state Capital, yes one would think so.
You seem to be more interested in smearing President Trump than being outraged at the injustice taking place here and the fact that our once great republic is being subverted right before our eyes.
Whose side are you on anyway?
All deep state leftist spin points that don't match up either with what Trump says or what the facts are.
You wasted ink/electrons and my time with “these types of things!”
DON’T threaten to ‘drain the swamp,” will bring the wrath of MOST of the
Congress and the bums in DC the suck on our nation’s money and blood.
