"Judges Condemn Trump's Attacks on Families in Extraordinary Rebuke"

Federal judge Reggie Walton criticized Donald Trump for his attacks on Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter, stating that any attack on a judge is "particularly problematic" and can be considered a threat, especially if directed at their family. Walton emphasized the importance of judges carrying out their duties without the threat of potential physical harm and expressed concern that Trump's online attacks could result in real-life harm. Trump's attacks came after Judge Merchan issued a gag order ahead of the former president's hush money trial, and Trump's legal team has been contacted for comment.
