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.
As he should.
Federal judges in criminal court generally run a very tight ship
No hijinks
This judge is a cartoon
Trump will eventually be found guilty of Gnostical Turpitude.
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
This “Judge” is a disgrace..just watch what the DA has in this supposed “Overwhelming” evidence, today they had on Pecker, yeah that’s his name, Mr Pecker, from the National Enquirer to say that yeah Trump is a really good guy who likes stories about him to be nice..WOW, the crime of the century right there..This is the nonsense that this court’s time is being wasted on, meanwhile throughout New York you have scum calling for Jews to be shipped back to Poland
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.
“Gnostical Turpitude”
LOL...sounds very serious!
This judge needs to be de robed.
Ask not for whom the Trump trolls.
He trolls for Thee!
This judge needs an accident.
David Pecker?
I thought his first name was Fulsom.
The Judge has already lost all credibility - he is projecting his own failures.
“I’ve paid my dues(taxes)
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime”...
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
Donald is spot on correct.
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.
