Fox News’ Steve Doocy criticized former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for going after the family of the judge overseeing Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan.
On “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning, Doocy noted that Judge Juan Merchan had warned Trump during his arraignment on Tuesday not to use social media to incite violence.
“Six hours later, at Mar-a-Lago, the judge was attacked, the judge’s wife, and the judge’s daughter,” Doocy said. “The judge’s daughter was on Truth Social and many social media sites yesterday because she works for a consulting firm that is working … for the Biden-Harris campaign.”
“It looks awful to attack a judge’s family,” Doocy added, even as his colleagues pushed back.
After pleading not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, Trump returned to his Palm Beach, Florida, estate, where he railed against prosecutors and judges in a speech to supporters.
