Read our privacy policy A New York judge warned Donald Trump about making statements, online or otherwise, that would foment unrest or target public officials, the Associated Press reports, as the former president was in Manhattan on Tuesday facing charges for his role in a hush money scheme. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office accused Mr Trump’s social media posts of “threatening our city, our justice system, our courts and our office.” In recent days, Mr Trump and his sons have posted aggressive messages online about the officials in the New York case. “That was a picture of him showing off an American-made bat.” In a post just hours before his arraignment, Mr Trump called the whole proceeding a “KANGAROO COURT” and attacked what he described as the “HIGHLY PARTISAN JUDGE” and his family, whom he described as being “WELL KNOWN TRUMP HATERS.” In court, Trump attorney Todd Blanche said Mr Trump’s posts were a response to prosecution witnesses talking publicly about the case, and a form of protest against the “grave injustice” of being charged. On Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr also criticised judge Juan Merchan and his family, calling the fact that Mr Merchan’s daughter worked on the Biden-Harris campaign evidence of the indictment being a “hand picked democrat show trial.” “The BS never ends folks,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.
