Trump Again Targets Judge’s Daughter In New York Criminal Case

Former President Trump Holds Campaign Rally In North Charleston, South Carolina

The gag order was issued Tuesday

Former President Donald Trump lashed out against Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter, Loren Merchan, once again Thursday—an attack that comes just weeks ahead of Trump’s first criminal trial and two days after the judge issued a limited gag order in the case.

Trump said in a Truth Social post Merchan was “totally compromised” and should be removed from the hush money case immediately.

Trump furthered his scrutiny of Merchan’s daughter—identifying her by name and saying she is a “Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me,” though the former president didn’t provide evidence to back up his claim.

Trump’s statements against Merchan and his family are not barred by the gag order issued earlier this week.

The former president claimed Merchan’s daughter works for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, extending a criticism he made on Truth Social earlier this week noting she worked as an executive at a progressive political consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns, which Biden is a client of, according to the firm’s website.

Trump, who is barred from publicly disparaging witnesses, prosecutors, jurors and court staff in the hush money case, once again called it a “witch hunt.”

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

The trial for the hush money case is scheduled to begin with jury selection on April 15.

KEY BACKGROUND

Merchan levied the gag order against Trump after the former president said on Truth Social the judge couldn’t be impartial in the case, citing Merchan’s daughter’s work with Authentic Campaigns. Trump also lashed out at District Attorney Alvin Bragg, alleging he was beholden to Democrats and claiming, without evidence, that Bragg was influenced by one of his prosecutors to bring the case against Trump. Merchan issued the gag order, saying Trump’s statements were “threatening, inflammatory, denigrating” and pertained to local and federal officials, court staff and “private individuals including grand jurors performing their civic duty.” Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to an alleged attempt to reimburse his former attorney, Michael Cohen, for alleged payments he made to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels about an alleged affair she had with Trump.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.
