Judith Sheindlin’s take on Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump is that he didn’t actually have one. “You gotta twist yourself into a pretzel to figure out what the crime was,” she said. But before she started filming “Judge Judy,” Sheindlin’s area of expertise was family law — the curmudgeonly reality show star never had to oversee a case that dealt with falsifying business records in an attempt to influence a presidential election. It’s also nothing like her television trials, where she might allow a dog to decide the outcome of its own custody case.
While Sheindlin might believe that the legal system did Trump wrong, she was no fan of the work he did in the White House. “I don’t think that Donald ever should have been president,” she said on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace.” Sheindlin endorsed former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley during the GOP primaries, in part because the judge was unenthused about the prospect of a second showdown between Joe Biden and Trump. She wouldn’t tell Deadline who she would choose between the two, saying, “I’m gonna have the same nose clip as a lot of other people in this country.”
