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.

Believe it or not, they have harsher judges than Merchan. That doesn’t mean Merchan is a good judge.
Sorry, I love the $hit out of Trump and feel for him for al the BS the man has/is having to put up with and endure. That said, I sure wish he’d throw down and stand up for constitutional rights he espouses. Since when do your 1st amendments rights to freedom of speech end because some judge decrees it? It doesn’t!
I say sue the SOB for violating his constitutional rights, the judge doesn’t have that right.It takes a 2/3’rds majority in 2/3rds of the states to change it and tat aint happened. Trump needs to stand firm and tell him to F off on his gag order. Better yet tell him he’s got something he can gag on.
Trump’s ATTORNEY is losing credibility? HA HA HA HA !
This is a better comedy than “My Cousin Vinny.”
It seams this judge is interfering with the trial does he have mental issues
If Trump gets a hung jury, Judge M will then throw him in jail for the gag order
Meanwhile Cohen is out running to every dnc propaganda outlet lying his arse off.
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.
To be honest, as far as I’m concerned, it makes little difference whether this little black-robed tyrant does or doesn’t. They’ve already made Trump our Mandela.
Merchan is a disgrace to the judicial system. People like him are the reason Americans don’t trust the law. People like Hillary have proven we can’t.
I think you mean “seems”-I don’t think there are any “seams” sewn on the joke of a judge. Autocomplete is not well-programmed-do not use...
I listened to the arguments. I don’t think Merchan has a law degree. He certainly does not know the law.
Cohen probably needs any money he can get from those propaganda outlets to pay his own legal fees-he is the ultimate attention-seeker...
Why is this corrupt, partisan, communist lawyer in a black robe still on this case? Who provides oversight on Judge Merchan? Why are they letting this outrage continue?
Democrat judge, Democrat jury, Democrat daughter making millions off his case, and Democrat prosecutors all ganging up on a Republican front runner for President?
Is NYC that deeply communist?
This is a story fit for Gilbert & Sullivan and/or Monty Python.
Lawsy no! Not Gnostical Turpentine!
Would it matter to the little F***er?
Fred Gwyn played a better judge in a movie than this judge could ever hope to be. Outshone by Herman Munster/Officer Muldoon.
This POS judge talks about credibility , while conducting a thorough witch hunt to keep DJT from running. The phony judge will get his due when the Supremes toss his case.
The Merchan Crime Family is headed for a brick wall at full speed.
Need more popcorn.
This "judge" needs a hemp rope and a long drop.
