Threats made to judge in Trump case

Sources say the judge who preside over former President Donald Trump’s New York City criminal arraignment, along with his family and the court itself, received unsubstantiated threats after the hearing.

One official says there have been “dozens” of such threats recently to the judge.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other top officials in his office also continue to receive threats. The unsubstantiated threats have come in the form of calls, email and letters.
