Donald Trump made an appearance in court on Monday for jury selection during his so-called “hush money” trial.
Judge Juan Merchan delivered a firm ultimatum to former President Donald Trump regarding his presence on the first day of his criminal trial. According to MSNBC’s Jesse Rodrigeuz, Merchan told Trump he has to be in the courtroom every day for the duration of his trial.
“If you do not show up, there will be an arrest,” Merchan warned.
The trial is expected to last six to eight weeks. The judge is essentially preventing Trump from campaigning for president.
In 2020, Merchan made a small donation to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. Despite this and other conflicts of interest, Merchan refused to recuse himself from the case.
How much more proof do you need that this is election interference?

Trump has repeatedly blasted the case as a “witch hunt” and revamped his criticism ahead of jury selection Monday morning, arguing in aTruth Social tirade that the charges against him constitute a violation of New York’s statute of limitations.
