The judges in former President Donald Trump's myriad indictments and trials were blasted as "animals" for not only rejecting a one-day delay for his mother-in-law's funeral but planning trials strategically throughout the 2024 GOP primary cycle.
"I got one in New York," Trump told his Indianola, Iowa, rally Sunday, which aired live on Newsmax and simulcasted on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform. "My wife's mother, who was a incredible woman, a great beauty inside and out, incredible woman, she just died. And my wife is very devastated by that.
"And I have a trial going on, a fake trial, totally fake trial –– and we asked the judge if I could take a day off for a funeral of my mother-in-law, who was very close to me also.
"And he said, No!' Can you imagine?
"These are animals."
The weaponization of justice against him is all an election interference effort, evidenced by the scheduling of trials on the eve of big campaign dates on the primary calendar, Trump added.
"We can't have a day off," Trump said. "These are bad people. These are radical left lunatics that want to hurt me because they think it's going to hurt me at the polls so that Biden can win an election.
"I don't think the people are going to fall for it."
There is "no rush" for the trials that are being brought only now after years of delay to impact the 2024 election, Trump continued.
"What a disgrace that a judge would not say, yes, we can take a day off," he said. "There's no rush. You know all of these indictments, they could have done them three years ago. They saved them all for the election – every one of them.
"I've got one during Iowa. I got one during New Hampshire, the day before New Hampshire."
Also, Trump said, the one on the 2020 election challenge brought in Washington, D.C., before Judge Tanya Chutkan comes the eve of Super Tuesday.
"She wants the trial to start the day before Super Tuesday and she says, 'Oh, no, it has nothing to do with politics,'" he said. "Every one of them is the day before Iowa, the day before New Hampshire, the day before Super Tuesday.
"No, these are rigged indictments. This is a rigged Department of Justice, where we have radical left, bad people, lunatics. And we can't let it happen."
Trump vowed to be at the funeral of former first lady Melania Trump's mother, the judge in New York City be damned: "I'll be there. One way or the other, I'll be there."
"I'm going to that funeral," he concluded. "And this judge, whatever the hell he wants to do, let him do it, but we're going to that. It's a disgrace.
"These are very bad people. Very sick people."
