Former President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, were present to witness their son, Barron Trump, graduate from high school this Friday.
The graduation ceremony, held at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, saw the 18-year-old receive his diploma, a testament to years of hard work and dedication in his studies.
The graduation came during a challenging time for the Trump family, as the former president is embroiled in a sham trial in Manhattan over alleged ‘hush money’ payments.
Despite the legal cloud hanging over him, Trump’s presence at the graduation was made possible by a judicial decision that paused the trial proceedings, allowing him to participate in his son’s big day, according to the New York Post.
It can be recalled that Judge Merchan told Trump a warrant would be issued for his arrest if he failed to show up to trial without a valid reason.

President Trump asked the judge if he could skip the trial for his son Barron’s graduation. Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”
“As you know, my son is graduating from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son, who’s worked very, very hard. He’s a great student. We’re very proud of the fact that he did so well. And he was looking forward for years to have this graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like the judges are not going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial, Trump wrote.
The judge granted a reprieve allowing Trump to attend his son’s graduation.
“Going to Barron’s High School. Graduation. Great student, wonderful boy! Very exciting!!! DJT,” president Trump wrote earlier.
