Mediaite reports:
Donald Trump once again attacked Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the former president’s criminal trial in Manhattan. This time, he urged those watching to “take a look at where” the Colombia-born Merchan “comes from.”
“The judge hates Donald Trump,” the former president insisted. “Just take a look. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from. He can’t stand Donald Trump. He’s doing everything in his power.”
Merchan was born in Bogota, Colombia, and moved to Queens, New York at the age of six. He attended Baruch College and received his law degree from Hofstra University School of Law.

This is ugly stuff. Judge Juan Merchan comes from Colombia. He moved to the U.S. as a kid.
Remarkably, Judge Aileen Cannon was also born in Colombia — but I doubt Trump knows that. https://t.co/6P1m3dSlxu
