Donald Trump launched a fierce and unfounded attack on New York Judge Juan Merchan after the judge refused to overturn his hush money conviction. Trump called Merchan “psychotic” and “corrupt” on Truth Social for rejecting his plea to dismiss the conviction based on a Supreme Court ruling that granted presidential immunity. The judge argued Trump’s falsification of business records did not infringe on executive branch functions. Trump’s lawyers claimed some evidence from his White House tenure improperly influenced the case, but Merchan ruled it was minimal and harmless, citing “overwhelming evidence of guilt.”
