Trump Judge Receives Death Threats Amid Criminal Case.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Donald Trump's hush-money case, has been receiving death threats and has been assigned a security team. The threats began about a week ago but have ramped up in the wake of Trump's arraignment on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Two court officers are escorting Merchan to and from work, and the NYPD is evaluating whether to station officers outside the judge's home. Trump called Merchan and his family "Trump haters" on social media and accused the judge of pressuring the organization's longtime CFO Alan Weisselberg to plead guilty to dodging taxes on $1.7 million in company perks.
