President-elect Donald Trump raged on Truth Social against New York Judge Juan Merchan and others after he was ordered to show up to a sentencing hearing next week for his criminal hush money case.
After being ordered on Friday to the sentencing hearing, Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday where he once again declared his innocence and also claimed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are “directly or indirectly” involved in each of the legal cases he has faced.
Under Merchan’s watch, Trump was convicted on multiple felony counts related to falsifying business records to cover up an alleged affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump continues to deny knowledge of the payment and the affair.
Trump also blasted the case from writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll in 2023 by a New York jury. Trump claims he never met Carroll while she has maintained that the former president assaulted her in the ’90s.
Trump wrote:
I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME! He created a case where there was none. Keeps a “gag order” on me so that I can’t talk about how crooked he is. The Fake News knows all about it, but they refuse to talk. He may be the most conflicted judge in New York State history. The accountant testified, with total corroboration, that the records were perfect & totally above board. A legal expense was called, on the books, a legal expense. There was nothing else it could have been called. This was the so-called falsifying of records. I was hiding nothing, everything was out in the open for all to see. Every legal scholar of note said there IS NO CASE AGAINST ME. The judge should be disbarred! This is why people, and companies, are FLEEING New York – A corrupt court system. In another crooked New York case, another corrupt Judge (overturned 5 times on my case alone, & the most overturned judge in New York!) valued Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, at $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount….And then we have, also in New York, the woman I never met (celebrity photo lines from 30 years ago don’t count!), who was awarded almost $100,000,000. A totally out of control, Trump hating judge, presided. The Biden/Harris DOJ was involved, directly or indirectly, in each of these cases. I won against Deranged Jack Smith!
In a followup Truth Social post, Trump declared that there has never been more “evilly and illegally treated” than he has.
“There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I. Corrupt Democrat judges and prosecutors have gone against a political opponent of a President, ME, at levels of injustice never seen before,” he wrote.
The former president went on to blast Special Counsel Jack Smith and the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago property to retrieve allegedly classified materials kept after he left the White House.
Trump wrote:
Corrupt judges, or judges so blinded by their hatred of me and my political ideology to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” are making a mockery of the United States Judicial System, and the World is watching in disgust. Deranged Jack Smith, the evil and sinister prosecutor appointed by Crooked Joe Biden to ‘take me down,’ was found to be illegally appointed by a CORRUPT DOJ and FBI, and all of his many charges against me were dropped or dismissed. His illegal raid of my home, Mar-a-Lago, will go down as one of the “dirtiest tricks” ever perpetrated by one candidate, a dumb as a rock, Sleepy Joe Biden, on another. With all of this said, I still have confidence that the Appellate Courts will bring JUSTICE TO AMERICA!!!
Trump was originally supposed to be sentenced on Nov. 26 in his hush money case, but Merchan delayed that hearing. He is now scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 10, just 10 days before his inauguration.
