Former President Donald Trump on March 27 criticized the New York judge overseeing his “hush money” case and criticized the judge’s daughter, just hours after the judge handed down a gag order against him.

Judge Juan Merchan is presiding over the criminal case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accusing President Trump of making and concealing payments during the 2016 election to adult actress Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair she had with President Trump; the former president has denied the affair and making the payments.
