President Trump wrote on Tuesday:
Judge Juan Machan, a man of great appearance, is a true Trump hater who suffers from a very severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. In other words, he hates me! His daughter is a senior executive in ultra-liberal Democratic corporations working for Adam Shifty Schiff, the Democratic National Committee, the (Democratic) Senate Majority PAC, and even crooked Joe Biden. He recently served as a judge in an unrelated case involving a long-term employee who is elderly and in poor health. This judge treated him badly and told him if he didn’t cooperate he would go to prison for 15 years. He took the oath, went to jail for a very minor charge, and, highly unusually, served four months at Rikers. And now they’re after him again, this time on suspicion of lying (which doesn’t look like a lie to me!) and being blackmailed. If he doesn’t say anything bad about “TRUMP,” he’ll get another 15 years in prison. He is devastated and scared. The thugs and thugs who destroy this country have no case against me. Witch Hunt!
Trump faces 34 charges related to allegations of falsifying business records.
