Former President Donald Trump has been granted permission to attend his son Barron’s graduation ceremony, bringing relief to the American politician and putting to rest any speculation that he might miss out on his son’s big day. The decision was announced by Judge Juan M. Merchan on April 30, stating that Trump can attend the graduation on May 17 without any issues related to his ongoing criminal trial.
In a recent development in the hush money trial, a federal judge imposed a $9,000 fine on Trump for repeatedly disregarding a court-issued gag order. The judge also warned Trump that he could face jail time if he continued to violate the order. Despite these legal challenges, Trump will be able to attend his son’s graduation, a moment that any parent would cherish.
Social media users noted Trump’s repeated mentions of missing his wife Melania’s birthday during the court session. Trump expressed frustration about not being with his wife, stating that he wanted to wish her a happy birthday but was stuck in a “rigged trial.” This comes after Melania’s previous birthday was reportedly ruined by a lawsuit filed against Trump.
Overall, the special permission granted to Trump to attend his son’s graduation comes as a relief amidst ongoing legal battles. The former president can now proudly witness his son’s milestone moment without any hindrances.
