On his Truth Social website, Trump has repeatedly hit out at Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan who is presiding over the Stormy Daniels case.

On X Andrew Weissmann, a former general counsel to the FBI who was part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, argued this puts his legal team in a difficult situation.

Weissmann shared a post from MSNBC executive producer Kyle Griffin who wrote: "Donald Trump is now attacking a private citizen, Judge Juan Merchan's daughter, by name on his social platform."

In response Weissmann added: "Trump's criminal defense counsel now have a tough decision. How do you continue to represent someone who is engaging in this conduct when charged with essentially the same encouragement of violence on 1/6 (and before and after)."
