A New York judge overseeing the case of former President Donald Trump has received dozens of death threats since the former president turned him and his family into political targets.
The New York Daily News reported On Thursday, State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan received a massive number of threats on his account via phone and email, according to a source familiar with the situation.
During court proceedings on Tuesday, Mirshan asked the former president and current presidential candidate to tone down the situation, after he encouraged his supporters to “protest!” The indictment hung over Trump’s head.
Instead, Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago and lashed out at Merchant, his wife and daughter during a ballroom event in Florida surrounded by his supporters and the press.
“I have a judge who hates Trump, with a wife and family who hates Trump, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris and now receives money from the Biden-Harris campaign and a lot of it,” Trump said from the stand at his Florida home. And the resort.

Merchant’s daughter Lauren, 34, is the president and partner at a progressive digital model called Authentic Campaigns, where she has worked on a number of Democratic issues and campaigns.
She was the digital director for Harris’ short-lived 2020 presidential bid.
Merchan was at the center of negotiations in 2021 that led to longtime Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg pleading guilty to charges that he withheld taxes on large dollar perks he received from the company — such as Manhattan apartments, a car and a school tuition.
On Friday, Trump declared on social media that Merchan “hates me” and is the same person who “stopped” De Weisselberg’s former CFO, 75, from taking a “pleasure” deal.
Merchant’s 34-year-old daughter Lauren (R) works for the consulting firm Authentic Broadcasts, which counts Vice President Kamala Harris, the Biden Harris campaign, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Rep. Adam Schiff among her past clients.
Weisselberg, who was given a reduced sentence for testifying against the Trump Organization, is serving his five-month sentence on Rikers Island in Queens and is expected to be released on April 19.
After Weisselberg testified, Merchan said he was particularly shocked that Weisselberg’s wife received a one-time payment of $6,000 from the company for a no-show job so that she would be eligible for Social Security, even when her husband was making a lot of money.
“Many Americans work hard in the hope that they might one day benefit from their Social Security contributions,” said the judge.
Merchan said he would have imposed a “harer sentence” if he had not already agreed to a five-month plea deal.
