Former President Donald Trump has issued a statement criticizing Judge Juan Merchan for refusing to dismiss his 34 felony convictions related to a 'hush money' case, following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. In his statement, Trump described Judge Merchan as 'deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased, and incompetent,' and labeled the case against him as a 'Rigged Hoax.' Trump also criticized Merchan for maintaining an 'illegal gag order' that prevents him from speaking about certain aspects of the case, suggesting it disrespects the Supreme Court's decision.
