It took Donald Trump less than 24 hours to test the boundaries of Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order in his New York criminal trial. In two posts on his Truth Social account, the former president attacked Merchan for issuing the gag order – and he went after the judge’s daughter for her liberal political work, exploiting the ambiguous language in the order that didn’t explicitly forbid discussion of Merchan’s family.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies having an affair with Daniels. Merchan, 61, has been a judge in New York city’s criminal court since 2009. He has overseen cases already involving the Trump Organization and its former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg. Agnifilo, who appeared in Merchan’s court dozens of times when she was a prosecutor, described him as a “judge’s judge” who keeps a professional distance and doesn’t inherently favor the prosecution or the defense.
