Republicans in Congress slammed Judge Arthur Engoron for not delaying former President Donald Trump’s trial Wednesday in wake of former First Lady Melania Trump’s mother’s death.
Both Republicans in the House and Senate heavily criticized Engoron for not delaying the case after the death of Melania’s mother, Amalija Knavs. New York Attorney General Letitia James brought the case forward regarding Trump’s businesses.
“This trial has been a joke from the beginning and not delaying it because of a death in the immediate family only solidifies Judge Engoron’s political agenda,” Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines said after the ruling.

“Why wouldn’t Judge Engoron approve this request? @realDonaldTrump’s mother-in-law just passed away,” Republican Texas Rep. Lance Gooden said.
