“Judge Juan Merchan told him to cancel all commitments during the trial...”
Screw that. Trump should just keep campaigning and see if Judge Juan wants to issue an arrest warrant for the leading Presidential candidate.
Merchan continues to violate the Constitution.
No doubt payback from the judge for Trump's comments about him, the court, the charges, Bragg, the DA's office, etc..
In late 2022, Merchan oversaw the five-week criminal trial of the Trump Organization; the organization was convicted of 17 counts of tax fraud.[14]
He also presided over the criminal case of Donald Trump’s former financial chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to his role in a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme.[15][16] Weisselberg admitted to evading taxes by accepting $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation and entered a plea agreement, in which he testified against The Trump Organization and helped to secure the company’s conviction.[17] Merchan sentenced Weisselberg to five months at Rikers Island and said he would have imposed a substantially longer sentence but for the plea agreement.[16]
Merchan is the judge assigned to preside over the criminal trial of Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser who was indicted in September 2022 on charges of fraud and money laundering in connection with a fundraising scheme. The case is set for trial in November 2023.
