The Trump Case Judge's Dilemma: To Muzzle or Criticize the Former President?
TL;DR Summary
James Trusty, an attorney representing former President Donald Trump, did not condemn his client for calling out the wife and daughter of the judge overseeing his criminal trial in Manhattan. Trusty claimed that Trump singling out Judge Juan Merchan's family was "not something personal" and that they have a political interest that is contrary to Trump's. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and criticized Merchan, who made trivial donations to Democrats in 2020, in a speech to supporters at Mar-a-Lago.
