Judge Napolitano to Newsmax: Trump Has Right to Call Out Judge’s Daughter

Former judge Andrew Napolitano on Friday criticized the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial for imposing a gag order after Trump attacked the judge’s daughter on social media.

Trump has demanded that the judge presiding over his New York trial involving alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels “should be recused” over a gag order preventing Trump from speaking about the judge’s daughter, who works as a progressive political consultant.

Napolitano said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America,” “When a judge says, ‘Don’t attack my daughter,’ the first thing you’re thinking of is, ‘Why is a judge ruling on an issue involving his own child? That should go to another judge.'”
