Judge Forces Trump To SKIP Son’s Graduation

Justice Juan Merchan of the New York Supreme Court has yet to make a decision regarding former President Donald Trump’s request to attend his son Barron Trump’s high school graduation instead of attending the trial. The trial, initiated by Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, began on Monday and Trump is facing 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records in connection with payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

It is important to note that Trump is not being accused of “covering up a sex scandal,” as clarified by Breitbart News. Despite denying all charges, Trump could potentially face imprisonment if found guilty. While the jury selection process is underway for the criminal trial, Trump’s legal team has requested that he be allowed to skip the trial on May 17 in order to attend his son’s graduation ceremony in Florida, his home state. Although Justice Merchan has acknowledged the request, he has not yet issued a ruling on the matter.

“It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial,” Merchan said.

It is possible that Trump will have to skip his youngest son’s high school graduation due to what some have labeled as another witch hunt.

This is how disgusting the Biden Trial has become. Not even letting the President attend his son’s high school graduation. Nothing but a political attack.?

Prior to entering a New York courtroom on Monday, Trump addressed the reporters and asserted that this is yet another instance of “political prosecution.”

“Nothing like this has ever happened before,” the former president said. “There is no case and they’ve [legal experts] said that — people that don’t necessarily follow or like Donald Trump.”

“This case was brought as political persecution,” Trump continued. “This is a persecution like never before.”

“And again, it’s a case that should have never been brought. It’s an assault on America. And that’s why I’m very proud to be here. This is an assault on our country,” he said, adding that the country is being run by “an incompetent man who is very much involved in this case.”

“This is really an attack on a political opponent. That’s all it is. So I’m very honored to be here,” Trump added.
