Trump Faces Choice Between Son’s Graduation and GOP Dinner

Former US President Donald Trump may miss his son Barron’s graduation ceremony due to a scheduling conflict with a GOP event 1,700 miles away. Trump is set to attend the Lincoln Reagan Dinner hosted by the Minnesota Republican Party on May 17, the same day as Barron’s graduation from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach. The former POTUS’s planned attendance at the dinner came after he was excused from court duties on that date. However, there is speculation that Trump may still try to attend both his son’s graduation and the Minnesota dinner, as he has been allowed to miss court that day.

Trump Granted Permission to Attend Son’s Graduation Despite Ongoing Trail

Former President Trump has been granted permission by the judge presiding over the NY v. Trump trial to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation in Florida on May 17. The decision comes after Trump had pushed for weeks to attend the event, expressing his disappointment earlier this month at the prospect of missing it. The trial is currently in its ninth day, with Trump facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Despite objections from Trump, who called the case a “hoax” and the judge “badly conflicted,” the judge ruled that Trump could attend the graduation. It is unclear whether trial proceedings will be paused on May 17 or if Trump will simply be absent from the courtroom that day.
