DEVELOPING: Judge Merchan Weighs Whether Trump Violated Gag Order in ‘Hush Money’ Trial – Audaciously Accuses Trump’s Lawyer of ‘Losing All Credibility’
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 23, 2024 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 04/23/2024 12:17:24 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Judge Merchan on Tuesday held a hearing on Bragg’s request to hold Trump in contempt of court and fined for violating his gag order. The judge said he is going to wait to rule on whether Trump violated the gag order. It is unclear when he will actually issue the ruling.

According to AP, President Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche told the court that Trump “is being very careful to comply” with the gag order.

Judge Merchan, whose daughter is making tens of millions of dollars off of his case against Trump, blasted Todd Blanche: “You’re losing all credibility.”

Trump slammed Judge Merchan during a break on Tuesday.

“HIGHLY CONFLICTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN, HAS TAKEN AWAY MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Someone needs to read the First Amendment to that judge.

This judge lecturing anyone about credibility is comical. The entire trial is a joke and this guy is about as obvious as a political pawn as it gets

Remember the era of Columbia merchan came from. There was hardly any law there then either. He is more like a drug lord than a judge.

I am so sick and tired of the weaponization of the legal system. The left has been doing it for YEARS and getting away with it.

They’re perverted.

The Judge has already lost all credibility - he is projecting his own failures.

He is from Bogota, Columbia. He *cough* "emigrated" to the US at 6 years old. His father was a military officer in Columbia. Who knows if the family came here legally. What does this Colombian jackass know about the First Amendment or, indeed, the entire Constitution

And...? Merchan has already shown he is smart enough NOT to jail Trump when Trump begged him to put him in jail so he could become Mandela. Trump called his bluff now it is too late.
