Donald Trump has attacked the daughter of the judge in his hush money case yet again, just days after a gag order was issued in the case.
“Judge Juan Merchan is totally compromised, and should be removed from this TRUMP Non-Case immediately. His Daughter, Loren, is a Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and yet he gagged me,” he wrote in a Truth Social rant.
Mr Trump now risks penalties after New York Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the hush money case, issued a gag order earlier this week banning him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors, lawyers, court staff and their families.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump was called out for attending a memorial for slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller on Thursday.
Retired police officer Aquilino Gonell, a veteran of the January 6 Capitol riot, slammed Mr Trump as an “opportunistic grifter” for hailing “law and order” while praising the rioters who attacked him and his colleagues as “patriots, political prisoners, and hostages”.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump’s attorneys were back in court in Fulton County fighting to have his Georgia election interference case thrown out.
