Trump attacks on hush money judge’s daughter based on fake account: Court
Quick Glance: Trump Attacks on Hush Money Judge’s Daughter Due to Fake Account: Court
  • Former President Trump criticized the daughter of hush money trial Judge Juan Merchan, pointing to a social media account that is no longer associated with Loren Merchan, according to a court spokesperson.
