Trump's Attacks on Judge's Family and Defense Lawyer Cause Controversy.
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump attacked the family of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over his indictment in Manhattan, calling them "Trump-hating" without providing any evidence. This came just hours after the judge warned Trump not to make comments that could endanger others. Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records brought against him by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Trump has a history of attacking his critics and their family members, including Elaine Chao, the wife of Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi.
