And keeping in with the standard Trumpian style, Trump is lying about the judge saying he can't go. Judge hasn't ruled yet.Apparently Trump mentioned today that it was his son's graduation who is very smart and the judge wouldn't let him go to it.

And keeping in with the standard Trumpian style, Trump is lying about the judge saying he can't go. Judge hasn't ruled yet.
After leaving court on Monday, former President Donald Trump repeatedly suggested that Judge Juan Merchan would prevent him from attending his son’s high school graduation in May.
“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son,” Trump said, before lamenting “that I can’t go to my son’s graduation.”
Facts First: The judge hasn’t ruled yet on Trump’s request to be excused from court so he can attend Barron Trump’s high school graduation.
...
While Merchan didn’t let Trump attend next week's Supreme Court hearing – because Trump has to be in New York for the trial — he said it was too early to rule on the graduation.
I think my favorite joke so far is how this shows Trump’s commitment to not being woke.

Is this a joke?Gotta be honest.
Requesting a trial start late or end early (for the day) so a guy can attend his Sons graduation isn’t an unreasonable request.
He is not an average defendant, it’s not an unreasonable request for any imo.Is this a joke?
Like do you think the average criminal defendant gets a trial date based on their kid’s graduation.
Are you people insane.
Dude...He is not an average defendant, it’s not an unreasonable request for any imo.
He is not an average defendant, it’s not an unreasonable request for any imo.
Waits for excuse from him to be permitted to leave jail to attend Barron’s wedding in Moscow.

Fact Check: Trump falsely claims judge won't let him attend son’s high school graduation next month
From CNN’s Marshall Cohen
After leaving court on Monday, former President Donald Trump repeatedly suggested that Judge Juan Merchan would prevent him from attending his son’s high school graduation in May.
Trump’s son Eric Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric by tweeting, “Judge Merchan is truly heartless in not letting a father attend his son’s graduation.”“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son,” Trump said, before lamenting “that I can’t go to my son’s graduation.”
Facts First: The judge hasn’t ruled yet on Trump’s request to be excused from court so he can attend Barron Trump’s high school graduation.
Criminal defendants like Donald Trump are typically required to attend their case proceedings in person. Trump’s lawyers asked Merchan on Monday about whether their client could be excused for some events, including the graduation and the upcoming arguments in front of the US Supreme Court in one of Trump’s other criminal cases.
While Merchan didn’t let Trump attend next week's Supreme Court hearing – because Trump has to be in New York for the trial — he said it was too early to rule on the graduation.
Running for president is 100% irrelevant.From cnn scrolling type link.
He is not a normal defendant in any way. Requesting time off for the trial can be granted, decision hasn’t been made about the graduation.
Normal defendants aren’t running for President or have the opportunity to attend a Supreme Court case.
Trump has had 4 children graduate before.Gotta be honest.
Requesting a trial start late or end early (for the day) so a guy can attend his Sons graduation isn’t an unreasonable request.
Key word I used was it’s not an unreasonable “request”.Trump has had 4 children graduate before.
Guess how many of those he has been to?

And you think all of a sudden he wants to actually go to his 5th sons graduation, which just HAPPENS to be while he's on trial?

Fair enough, and for a normal, decent human being I would agree.Key word I used was it’s not an unreasonable “request”.
Of course he will not go. He gives zero fucks about it.

I certainly am not a law expert or even an internet sleuth law expert.Is this the USA or isn't it? I guess you don't really care about this stuff as well, just like Trump.
I certainly am not a law expert or even an internet sleuth law expert.
All I am saying is if this request works for the schedule of the trial it isn’t an unreasonable request.
He had to remember that he had a kid.The time to ask for an exception was at that time not after it has started. Trump knew the date of his kids graduation it was something that was not a surprise
