CNN —A sitting federal judge on Thursday harshly criticized Donald Trump’s attacks on the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal case tied to alleged hush money payments, telling CNN that such statements threaten the viability of the American legal system. US District Judge Reggie Walton spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” in the wake of Trump’s attacks on Judge Juan Merchan, which helped prompt the New York judge to issue a gag order on the former president earlier this week. It is unusual for federal judges to speak publicly, especially about specific political or legal situations. Trump criticized Merchan, his daughter and one of Bragg’s prosecutors in the hours before Merchan issued his gag order. Walton, who has been a senior judge of the federal trial level court in Washington, DC, since 2001, told CNN he is speaking out against threats on judges because he is concerned.

The US attorney’s office also turned over 30,000 pages related to documents seized from five iPhones and email accounts associated with Cohen. Why were the documents turned over so late? Trump’s attorneys and prosecutors are pointing fingers at one another over the reason the US attorney’s office did not turn over tens of thousands of documents until this month. But the district attorney says that Trump’s attorneys are to blame for the delay. Prosecutors argue that Trump’s attorneys raised no issues with the document production made in July 2023 until six months later with the January subpoena.

Trump has repeatedly asked the judge in his NYC hush-money case to move the March 25 trial date. He invited Trump's lawyer to raise the matter of scheduling again in February. An excerpt from a letter from Trump's Manhattan hush-money judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, to defense attorney Todd Blanche. AdvertisementAdvertisementIn asking, without luck, to at least talk about a new hush-money trial date, Blanche, too, sounded overbooked. "Thus, the trial in that case will necessarily conflict with the scheduled trial in this case," Blanche noted.
