Former President Donald Trump raged at New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan on Tuesday before heading into a Manhattan court room.
“We have a Trump-hating judge. We have a judge who shouldn’t be on this case, he’s totally conflicted but this is a trial that should never happen,” Trump said. “This is a sham trial and the judge should recuse himself.”
The second day of Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan is expected to begin on Tuesday following an indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for alleged hush money payments made to ex-adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
