"Trump's Frustration Over Barron's Graduation Takes Center Stage in Trial"

Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Judge Juan Merchan prohibited him from attending his son Barron's high school graduation due to his criminal trial, despite the judge not making a firm ruling on the matter. Trump and his allies, including his sons and political figures, made false remarks about the judge's decision, inciting right-wing outrage. Judge Merchan has only ruled that Trump cannot miss the trial for his immunity appeal, warning that doing so could result in jail time. Trump has a history of using legal rulings to garner sympathy and donations from his supporters.
