Trump rails against judge who refused to overturn hush-money conviction
Briefly

Trump's vehement condemnation of Judge Juan Merchan highlights his refusal to accept legal accountability, calling the ruling a 'psychotic order' and attacking the judge's integrity.
In his ruling, Judge Merchan emphasized that Trump's actions of falsifying business records pose no threat to the executive branch's authority, countering Trump's claim for immunity.
Trump referred to Judge Merchan as biased and corrupt, arguing that the ruling goes against the Constitution and represents a threat to the presidency.
The legal strategy employed by Trump's lawyers was significantly undermined by Judge Merchan's rejection of their request to overturn the conviction based on claimed presidential immunity.
