Donald Trump has come under fire for attacking the daughter of the judge who is overseeing his criminal case in Manhattan.
On a historic and unprecedented day for America on Tuesday, the former president was arrested and arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court over hush money payments including to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
He cut a glum figure in the courtroom as he pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
After the court appearance, he railed against Judge Juan Merchan, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and their family members in a primetime speech at Mar-a-Lago.
In the televised address, he attacked Judge Merchan’’s “Trump-hating” family including his 34-year-old daughter Loren Merchan who he said “worked for Kamala Harris, and now receives money from the Biden-Harris campaign”.
Critics have accused Mr Trump and his allies of attempting to intimidate the judge and his family.
While Mr Trump took aim at the people involved in his criminal case, Senator Lindsey Graham was begging Americans to send the former president money to help fight the charges.
“We got one last chance here to straighten this out,” he told Fox News on Tuesday night.
