Former President Trump marked Memorial Day with attacks on the judges overseeing civil and criminal trials against him and calling his political opponents “human scum.”
After a Truth Social post somberly remembering the fallen early Monday, Trump blasted President Biden and the judges in a lengthy statement.
He specifically called out Judge Lewis Kaplan, calling him a “Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge.” Kaplan oversaw a pair of defamation cases from writer E. Jean Carroll, which Trump lost and was ordered to pay more than $80 million in damages for. He is appealing the ruling.
The former president also attacked Judge Arthur Engoron, who ruled over a civil business fraud trial in New York, which resulted in Trump being ordered to pay more than $450 million in fines. Trump called Engoron a “wacko” and implied that he will soon levy the same attacks against the judge of his ongoing criminal hush money trial, Juan Merchan.
The statement is a stark difference from President Biden, who gave a somber address at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
