AOC accuses Trump of setting ‘violent’ supporters on judge in his case

AOC said the real estate tycoon “publicly intimidates a judge and puts a spotlight on his supporters – many of whom have admitted in court to committing violence in his name.” “He knows what he’s doing,” she added. Merchan, 60, had asked Trump to refrain from making statements that “incite violence or civil unrest.” The former star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” pleaded not guilty to 34 separate charges Tuesday of falsifying business records.

Merchan (pictured with his daughter Loren) and his family have received “baseless threats” since the former president’s hearing on Tuesday, sources told the NBC news network.

Trump denies allegations of falsifying business records in plan to suppress allegations of extramarital affairs with ex-[adult entertainment] star Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal who broke during his first run at the White House. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 days before the 2016 presidential election as part of a nondisclosure agreement.
