United States President-elect Donald Trump commented via his profile on TruthSocial on the decision by New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan to throw out his bid to dismiss his hush-money case calling it a "rigged charade" and denouncing Merchan as a "radical partisan" guilty of violating the constitution.
"Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family’s disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only Political Opponent in American History not allowed to defend myself - A despicable First Amendment Violation!" wrote Trump.
The president-elect once again called for the end of "lawfare" against him, stressing the importance of achieving unity ahead of his return to the White House on January 20.
