Trump Criticizes New York Judge After His Request to Attend Supreme Court Presidential Immunity Hearing Denied

Former President Donald Trump has criticized a New York Judge for barring him from attending a Supreme Court hearing on whether he has presidential immunity from prosecution for acts committed while he was in the White House.

The Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., will start hearing arguments in the case on Thursday. A ruling on presidential immunity is expected by late June. However, New York State Supreme Court Justice Judge Juan Merchan denied former President Trump’s request for leave, saying he is needed in the New York Supreme Court for his so-called “hush money” trial.

In an April 24 interview with Fox News Digital, the former president claimed the judge thinks he is above the highest court in the land.

“Because he thinks he is above the Supreme Court, he is prohibiting me from going to the presidential immunity hearing where some of the great legal scholars will be arguing the case, the most important case in many years on the Supreme Court,” President Trump said.

“Without presidential immunity, the presidency becomes a ceremonial position only, it will be decimated. He’s prohibiting me from going. He is a radical left Democrat.”
