Donald Trump once again attacked Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the former presidents criminal trial in Manhattan. This time, he urged those watching to take a look at where the Colombia-born Merchan comes from.
Trump emerged from court on Tuesday after the proceedings concluded for the day and again addressed the media. As he has done in other post-court appearances, the ex-president read legal analysis from sympathetic pundits such as Fox News Gregg Jarrett, who has seldom found a Trump argument he didnt find to be airtight.
This trial is now officially a sad and pathetic joke,' Trump said, quoting Jarrett. Its a crime. Merchan and Bragg are the head clowns. It should be patently obvious to all that the leading Republican candidate for president is on trial not for what hes done, but for who he is. Trump is the potential nemesis of the Democrats.'

Her bio reads as if it's from a bad spy movie script!
I am even more curious about her fathers work in Cali😘
