Judge Juan Merchan recently engaged in a heated exchange with Donald Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, during a contempt hearing. The judge raised his voice and asserted his authority by stating, 'I'm asking the questions. I'm going to be the one who decides whether your client is in contempt.'
Merchan expressed frustration with Blanche's responses, emphasizing the need for a specific answer. 'I keep asking you over and over again for a specific answer, and I’m not getting an answer,' the judge reiterated.
The tense interaction between the judge and the attorney underscored the seriousness of the contempt hearing and the importance of providing clear and direct responses to the court's inquiries.
