On Monday, following the 4:30 p.m. ET conclusion of the first day of his historic criminal trial, former President Donald Trump addressed reporters outside of the lower Manhattan courthouse. The presumptive Republican nominee, seeking a return to the White House in 2024, lamented that presiding Judge Juan Merchan would not allow him to attend his youngest son, Barron Trump’s, high school graduation.
Trump said:
As you know my son is graduating from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son who’s worked very, very hard. He is a great student and I’m very proud of the fact that he did so well. And, I was looking forward for years to have his graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam, it’s a scam trial.
Eighteen-year-old Barron is the only child of former First Lady…
