DONALD Trump has slammed the judge in the hush money case for denying his request to dismiss the charges.
The president-elect attacked Judge Juan Merchan saying that Democrats “just want to see if they can get a pound of flesh because every case has failed.”

Trump told Fox News legal experts thought there was “no case” and the proceedings were a “witch hunt”.
He said: “The judge is corrupt and I am still under a gag order, I am not allowed to speak about the thing he least wants me to talk about.”
Merchan denied Trump’s request on Friday and set his sentencing for January 10.
He is set to be sworn into the presidency just 10 days later on January 20.
Trump was found guilty in May last year of 34 counts of falsifying business records, relating to an alleged scheme to hide a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
