In addition to denouncing the trial that began Monday in New York with jury selection as a 'scam,' Donald Trump said that Judge Juan Merchán's proceedings will prevent the former president from attending his son's high school graduation.
"As you know, my son is graduating from high school and it looks like the judge won't let me go to my son's graduation," Trump told members of the pool gathered for the trial. "I was looking forward to that graduation, with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge won't let me off the hook for this scam."
