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.
Why this is news?
David Sanborn, an influential saxophonist, who found success across the genres of pop, R&B, jazz and more, died Sunday.
He was 78.
“It is with sad and heavy hearts that we convey to you the loss of internationally renowned, 6 time Grammy Award-winning, saxophonist, David Sanborn,” reads a statement on his social media accounts. “Mr. Sanborn passed Sunday afternoon, May 12th, after an extended battle with prostate cancer with complications.”
Sanborn’s publicist confirmed the accuracy of the post when reached by CNN.
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, but continued performing until recently.

Here's how Trump's business reimbursed Cohen for the hush money payout, per trial evidence
By Ben Kochman
Then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg wrote down notes explaining the scheme to reimburse Michael Cohen for his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, trial evidence shows.
Weisselberg scrawled messy notes explaining the scheme on a copy of a bank statement for Cohen's shell company that was used to make the Daniels payout, Essential Consultants LLC.
Here's how it worked:
-- They started with a $130,000 payment to reimburse Cohen for paying the Daniels hush money.
-- They then added $50,000 owed to Cohen to reimburse him for paying an IT firm called "Red Finch," which Cohen testified he hired to rig online polls in favor of Trump in 2015.
-- Then they doubled $180,000 to $360,000 to make up for the roughly 50% taxes the Midtown Manhattan resident would have to pay because he was in a high tax bracket.
-- They then added an extra $60,000 as a "bonus" to make up for Trump apparently stiffing Cohen on a bonus the previous year.
-- Weisselberg told Cohen that the new total of $420,000 would be paid out in 12 installments of $35,000 throughout 2017.

As for population -- open your eyes. The gov't just went after folks in nursing homes with this mandated COVID b.s. to wipe out the elderly population -- they've gone after LEGAL Americans and insisted and mandated the COVID vaccine. Those vaccines have proven to have cause adverse side effects in younger people, and in some instances death. IMHO I believe that there is the possibilities that the vaccines given to our youth have made them sterile.
The gov't is trying to lower the U.S. population. Why??
