New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan appeared to show his dark side during a Tuesday gag order hearing concerning former President Donald Trump.

During arguments, Merchan appeared to provide the prosecution with sufficient time to persuade him that Trump allegedly violated his order. But when it came time for Trump attorney Todd Blanche to argue for the defense, MerchanBlanche argued that Trump reposting an article on Truth Social was not a violation of the gag order. Merchan asked what case law supports the argument.Merchan asked how reposting was any different than posting. “Where does it say that? Give me the case law,” Merchan said.

Merchan then asked Blanche to explain if Trump believed he was not violating the gag order when he reposted the Truths.Blanche tried to explain, but Merchan said, “Blanche, you’re losing all credibility. I have to tell you right now, you’re losing all credibility with the court.” Wendell Husebo is a political reporter with Breitbart News and a former GOP War Room Analyst.
