Former President Trump, in lashing out against the daughter of hush money trial Judge Juan Merchan, cited a social media account that is no longer connected to Loren Merchan, according to a court spokesperson. The New York state Office of Court Administration (OCA) said she deleted it a year ago, The Hill reports. “It is not linked to her email address, nor has she posted under that screenname since she deleted the account,” said the court system's Al Baker. “Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned.” Trump attacked Loren Merchan, a Democratic political consultant. The former president pointed to a photo illustration of an imprisoned Trump behind bars, which appeared to be the profile photo of Loren Merchan’s account.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The Judge’s daughter is allowed to post pictures of her ‘dream’ of putting me in jail, the Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution ... but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating? ... Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to ‘Get Trump,’ and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer. How can this be allowed?” Trump’s online remarks came less than 24 hours after Judge Merchan barred the former president from making public comments about witnesses, prosecutors, court staff or their family members “if those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with” the case. Trump faces 34 counts alleging he illegally falsified business records when reimbursing his ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, for making a payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an affair ahead of the 2016 election.
