Former
President Trump railed against the judge in his criminal hush money case early Monday, just hours before the
first criminal trial against a former president is set to begin.
Recalling complaints he has made for months, Trump argued that Judge Juan Merchan is corrupt, that the charges against him are political in nature and baseless, and dubbed the entire effort a “witch hunt.”
“The Radical Left Democrats are already cheating on the 2024 Presidential Election by bringing, or helping to bring, all of these bogus lawsuits against me, thereby forcing me to sit in courthouses, and spend money that could be used for campaigning, instead of being out in the field knocking Crooked
Joe Biden, the WORST President in the History of the United States,” he said in one early morning
Truth Social post. “Election Interference!”
