Trump Attacks Judge’s Daughter by Name While Railing Against Gag Order: ‘Rabid Trump Hater’

Former President Donald Trump went a step further against his imposed gag order in the New York hush-money trial and actually named the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan in a Truth Social Post.

Merchan issued the gag order Tuesday, citing Trump’s history of “threatening, inflammatory, denigrating” remarks about people involved in his prosecutions, as well as their families.

Trump posted Thursday:

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. She works for Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Leftists who Campaign on “Getting Trump,” and fundraise off the “Biden Indictments” – including this Witch Hunt, which her father “presides” over, a TOTAL Conflict – and attacking Biden’s Political Opponent through the Courts. Former D.A. Cy Vance refused to bring this case, as did all Federal Agencies, including “Elections.”

He continued in a second post:

Page 2: In this Country, we have the Right to Justice for All. As Andy McCarthy stated, “We should think of Bragg as falsifying his Prosecution” and, as Jonathan Turley said, “It’s illegally pathetic – THERE WAS NO CRIME!” Virtually every Legal Scholar says it’s not a case, has never been brought before, it’s not criminal, and it shouldn’t exist except for the fact that we have a Biased, Conflicted, and Corrupt Judge and D.A. in charge. Dismiss this ridiculous Non-Case, and MAKE THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM GREAT AGAIN!

The gag order does not apply to Merchan himself, nor District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

This is the second time Trump has defied the gag order. Shortly after it was imposed, he posted in part, that he couldn’t get a fair trial because Merchan’s daughter “represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, [and] has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal.”

Trump was most likely referring to Loren Merchan’s work as president and partner of Authentic Campaigns, a progressive political consulting firm that has worked with the Biden-Harris campaign and Schiff’s super PAC.

The criminal trial is set to begin April 15 in New York. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges he covered up a $130,000 payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet as he ran for president in 2016.
