'Desperate' NYC judge torched by legal analyst over Trump sentencing: This has 'backfired spectacularly'
Gregg Jarrett tells 'Fox & Friends' NYC case was 'lawfare' campaign to brand Trump as felon
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said on "Fox & Friends" Monday that Judge Juan Merchan appears "desperate to stain" President-elect Trump with the label of "convicted felon" before the inauguration. Jarrett called out New York officials for focusing on Trump despite rampant crime in the blue state.
GREGG JARRETT: I think Merchan is desperate to stain the incoming president with the label convicted felon. And understand, under the law, Trump is not officially convicted of anything until he's formally sentenced, even though many in the media, of course, began immediately and incorrectly calling him a convicted felon when the jury verdict came in.
