Trump calls for New York judge to be disbarred after hush money conviction advances

Summary

Donald Trump criticized New York Judge Juan Merchan after the judge set a Jan. 10 sentencing date for Trump’s 34-count felony conviction related to hush money payments.

Trump called for Merchan’s disbarment, accusing him of political bias and corruption, and claimed the case was fabricated by the "Biden/Harris Injustice Department."

Trump vowed to appeal the case, citing past legal victories, and reiterated claims of political persecution and judicial bias while condemning the U.S. legal system's handling of his cases.
