“I know President Trump had a lot of complaints about Justice Kaplan. During a 45-minute phone conversation from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, Bankman Fried told the Sun.
Trump, who has the power to forgive Bankmanfried, calls Kaplan a “bully” and “completely out of control, Trump hates the judge.”

Bankmanfried told Sun that Biden's Justice Department was hit by “prosecutor abuse” and was victimized by “politicization of DOJ” like Trump.
