Trump accuses trial judge of being 'corrupt' and 'conflicted' on his way out of court
By Post Staff
Trump again ripped Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan as "corrupt" on his way out of court.
He called Merchan, who was first appointed to the bench in Bronx family court in 2006 by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, then a Republican, of being "highly conflicted."
Merchan became an acting justice in Manhattan Supreme Court, presiding over felony criminal cases, in 2009.
Trump also reiterated his claim that "there's no problem here" and "no crime" in the case.
"It's really a sad day for the country. It's sad for New York," he told reporters.

DAY 17: Michael Cohen's Testifies
Speaker Johnson to appear at courthouse amid Trump hush money trial
by Mychael Schnell - 05/14/24 8:05 AM ET
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will appear at the Manhattan courthouse Tuesday as former President Trump sits for another day of his hush money trial, a source confirmed to The Hill.
Johnson is the latest Republican lawmaker to visit the court amid Trump’s ongoing criminal trial, which has kept him largely off the campaign trail as he vies for another term in the White House.
His expected appearance was first reported by Punchbowl News.
The Speaker’s trip to New York, however, comes less than one week after the House overwhelmingly blocked an attempt by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to oust him from office, an outcome that some have in-part attributed to the former president’s backing of Johnson.
Trump voiced support for Johnson on a number of occasions amid the ouster threat — including during a joint appearance at Mar-a-Lago — and he urged Republicans to vote to table Greene’s motion to vacate. That Truth Social post, however, published minutes after the vote closed.

Trump accuses judge of 'MAKING BIG MONEY OFF OF THIS SCAM' in early morning post
By David Spector
Former President Donald Trump accused Judge Juan Merchan of being "TOTALLY CORRUPT" in an early morning rant on his Truth Social account.
"Judge Merchan is TOTALLY COMPROMISED, CONFLICTED, AND CORRUPT," Trump said.
The former president went on to accuse the judge in his "hush money" trial of "MAKING BIG MONEY OFF OF THIS SCAM AND ITS OUTCOME."
Trump has been fined numerous times for violating the judge's gag order and Merchan has even threatened him with jail time.
