“Judge’s Ruling May Cost Trump’s Attendance at his son’s Barron’s High School Graduation”
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has not made a decision regarding Donald Trump’s request to attend his son Barron Trump’s high school graduation instead of appearing in court on that particular day.
As the criminal trial initiated on Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, brought forth charges against Trump, alleging 34 felonies related to falsifying business records regarding payments to Stormy Daniels, a porn star. Contrary to misconceptions, Trump is not accused of “covering up a sex scandal.” Trump adamantly denies all allegations, but a conviction could result in jail time.
As the trial progresses with jury selection underway, Trump’s legal team has made a plea for him to be excused from court on May 17. The reason? To attend his son Barron’s high school graduation in Florida, his home state. While acknowledging the request the judge has yet to render a decision
Speaking to reporters before entering the courtroom in New York on Monday, Trump labeled the trial as a case of “political prosecution” and emphasized that “nothing like this has ever happened before.” He mentioned that even legal experts who are not necessarily his supporters have stated that there is no case here.
Trump reiterated that the case was brought forward as political persecution, describing it as an unprecedented persecution. He further argued that the case should not have been brought in the first place, calling it an assault on America. He also claimed that the country is being run by an incompetent man who is involved in the case.
“This is truly an attack on a political opponent,” Trump concluded. He expressed his pride in being present, considering the situation an honor.
