Former President Trump lashed out at the daughter of hush-money trial judge Juan Marchan, pointing to social media accounts that are no longer associated with Lauren Marchan, according to a court spokesperson.
in a statement first reported on Wednesdaya spokesperson for the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) said the account in question is no longer associated with Lauren Marchand after she deleted it about a year ago.
“The X (former Twitter) account attributed to Judge Marchand’s daughter is no longer hers since she deleted it approximately a year ago,” OCA spokesman Al Baker told The – said in a statement provided to The Hill.
“It is not linked to her email address and she has not posted under that screen name since deleting her account,” Baker continued. “Rather, this represents a reconfiguration and manipulation last April of an account she abandoned long ago.”
The statement comes in response to President Trump’s attack on Democratic political consultant Lauren Marchan on social media. The former president pointed to an illustrated photo of Trump in prison, which the Associated Press initially reported appeared to be the profile picture on Lauren Marchan’s account.
“So let me be clear,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. “A judge’s daughter is allowed to post a photo of her ‘dream’ of putting me in jail, a prosecutor in Manhattan can tell any lie he wants about me, and a judge is allowed to follow our country’s laws at every turn. And I can violate the Constitution, but I’m not about attacks against me and lunatics who are destroying my life and trying to prevent me from winning the 2024 presidential election, which I’m in the lead for. Will I be allowed to speak?
“Perhaps the reason I hate judges so much is because my daughter works and earns money to ‘get the cards,’ and by ruling against me over and over again, the judge… is making her friends, and her, richer and richer. Why is this allowed?”
President Trump’s online comments came after Judge Marchand barred the former president from publicly commenting on witnesses, prosecutors, court officials, or their family members if the comments were “intended to materially disrupt” a case. It was announced less than 24 hours after. The gag order does not prevent President Trump from attacking Judge Marchand, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), or their families.
But Judge Marchan wrote that President Trump’s attack on his daughter led to the decision to gag the former president. The judge initially chose to only reprimand Trump, but said the gag order reflected the “nature and impact” of comments made against Trump, his “family” and two prosecutors. Ta.
President Trump is accused of illegally falsifying business records when paying off Michael Cohen, the former fixer who paid porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair ahead of the 2016 election. He faces 34 charges in New York. He pleaded not guilty. Marchan set a trial date for the case on April 15.
