Judge’s warning.
“Donald Trump should go to his son’s graduation…he should go to his graduation. Honestly, President Trump, if you’re watching, just go to his graduation. Every parent in America should go to his graduation. , whether I like you or not, I would say, ‘Yeah, yeah,’ and I would have done the same,” Morgan said Monday on “The Five.”
barron trump Marchan is scheduled to graduate from an Oxbridge academy in Palm Beach, Florida, later this month, but her father will appear before her in a courtroom 1,200 miles away in New York.

The “Piers Morgan: Uncensored” host also called Marchand’s lawsuit filed by New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg “absolutely ridiculous.”
Judge Jeanine Pirro, who presides over neighboring Westchester County and served as the county’s longtime Republican prosecutor, said Marchand could certainly issue a bench warrant for Trump and arrest him, but that Morgan He said it was unclear whether that would be politically advantageous, as he suggested. .
Morgan went on to argue that the idea that the former president could be taken to court for a 10-year felony over his “one-night stand with a porn star” is complete nonsense.

“Have you lost your mind, America? What a humiliating treatment of a former president. Second, if you’re a leftist, why do you think this will work? Why would you believe what you’re doing here?” Will Donald Trump be almost certain to win the next election? ” he asked.
President Trump said Marchand’s decision to prevent Barron from attending Barron’s graduation ceremony and Supreme Court arguments in another case he is involved in was a “perfect” ploy to support the “radical left wing of the Democratic Party” as a whole. He said that.
“That’s exactly what they want. This is about election interference, and that’s it,” he said after his day in a Manhattan courtroom.
Fox News host Jesse Watters said former President Bill Clinton also made headlines for his 1998 legal settlement with former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, but has not received the same scrutiny as Trump. he added.
Ms. Jones received an $850,000 payout to settle claims that Mr. Clinton, then the governor, harassed her inside a Little Rock hotel in 1991. Jones is one of several people who have accused Clinton of exposing herself during the 2016 campaign, when Trump invited her to be a guest at the Missouri debate against his Democratic wife, Hillary. , claimed that he made sexual advances.
At the time of the settlement, Mr. Clinton’s lawyer, Robert Bennett, said Mr. Jones’ claims were baseless.
Michael McCurry, Clinton’s White House press secretary, said at the time that Clinton was “delighted to have achieved the innocence she has long sought.”
Watters said of President Trump’s hush money payments to “The Five,” “This is a personal expense,” referring to the Jones case.
”[Clinton] “Because it was a private matter, I used private funds,” he said, suggesting that President Trump had done something similar.
“This is the most corrupt prosecutor… and 90% of the jury is Democrats. And the star witness is a cold-blooded felon and a liar,” he said, referring to former President Trump’s “fixer” Michael Cohen.
”[T]His jury is basically like O.J. [Simpson] jury pool. Just like on “The Juice,” there will likely be people trying to send messages to jurors. ”
Mr. Watters appears to agree with Mr. Morgan’s opinion regarding the possibility of an arrest against Mr. Trump.
“If this judge says you can’t attend Barron’s high school graduation ceremony, [Trump] “It’s a landslide. If that happens, he’ll win California,” he said.
