Trump judge and his family receive threats after New York arrest

In the 24 hours since former President Donald Trump’s arraignment, the presiding judge and his family have received multiple threats, two sources familiar with the matter said.

One official said “dozens” of threats have recently been directed at Judge Juan Merchan and his chambers but did not give an exact time frame for them.

The other source said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other top officials in his office continue to receive threats. The threats have been in the form of calls, emails and letters.

The New York police detail assigned to the DA's office is providing extra security to all affected staff members. Court officers, meanwhile, are boosting security for the judge and the court as a whole as a precaution.

Other steps have been taken, as well. Online bios of employees at the Manhattan district attorney’s office were recently removed from the DA’s website, according to a source familiar with the matter, because of troubling posts on social media, including Trump’s Truth Social platform.

1. Someone is gonna get hurt if the reigns aren't pulled in soon..I hope not but it's not good

[agingdem]

2. Merchan and Bragg knew this was coming...

Trump is a one-trick asshole...I suspect the judge will call Trump and his smarmy mouthpieces in for a "chat" and issue a gag order sooner than later...

4. Judge shoulda done it yesterday w threat of jail for the Con

3. Makes perfect sense that his lawyers

have indicated and one directly said they are doing nothing to prohibit him from doing this. They want the violence as well it appears. No action is the strongest indicator of that. They should be disbarred.

5. Despite the warning to TFG by The Court not to state anything inflammatory

against it and the Prosecutor, I think the damage has already been done. The Judge and his family have already received threats despite the fact that TFG didn't tell his followers to pursue harm. He gets away with this by "expressing his opinion" and lets it lie.

I see this as contempt of court and the Judge ought to make a ruling concerning this.

6. Junior moron was tweeting out pictures of the judge's daughter ...

... during the arraignment.

The judge needs to slap a gag order on the entire diseased family.

7. Yea, lock him up, he needs a little poetic justice.

8. The judge needs to ORDER

TFG to repeat DAILY to his base that this BULLSHIT needs to stop. The order should state that ALL death threats and lies need to STOP. If TFG does not do this daily, he is to return to NY court.

11. Judge Merchan should escalate his warning to stern. And if that doesn't do it, threaten

to arrest him. And when that doesn't do it. Tell him you're not kidding, you will do it if any more threats are levied. And when that doesn't do it....etc, etc, etc...



ARREST THE MOTHERF*CKER ALREADY, before someone gets assassinated from TFG's dog whistle calls for violence!!!

12. Could there be an implied/actual threat/danger to the families? ... YES!

Supreme court justices wanted extra protection for their homes and families.

Trump gave his children an extra six months of Secret Service protection.

The Trumps and MAGAts understand it just that way.
