This is the best summary I could come up with:
Television personality Judge Judy Sheindlin has ignited controversy on social media with her recent comments about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial.
Sheindlin, known for her sharp-tongued judgments on her courtroom show, didn't hold back when discussing the charges brought against Trump by Bragg's office.
Sheindlin's comments have sparked outrage among Trump critics on social media, with some arguing that her dismissal of the charges undermines the work of prosecutors and investigators involved in the case.
Ryan Shead, veteran commentator and host of the Hold the Mic podcast, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, "When EVERYONE around someone like Trump starts going to prison for covering for him, that person is likely guilty too.
X user Marlene Robertson posted, "Judge Judy is literally telling the world that keeping her taxes lower is more important than democracy.
Sheindlin, a self-described political independent, previously backed former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
