Trump is allowed to go to Barron's high school graduation after he ripped judge for warning he may be stuck in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial

Former President Donald Trump received the green light Tuesday from the judge presiding over the Stormy Daniels hush money trial to attend his son Barron's high school graduation next month.

The former president complained on the first day of the trial that he may be barred by Judge Juan Merchan from seeing 18-year-old Barron receive his diploma. 

A furious Trump said: 'It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son who's worked very, very hard.'

'He's a great student and he's very proud of the fact he did so well and was looking forward for years to having his graduation with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge isn't gong to allow me to escape this scam, it's a scam trial,' Trump said earlier this month.

On Tuesday, however, Merchan said, 'I don't think the May 17 date is a problem. Mr. Trump can attend that date, attend his son's graduation.'

It came as Trump was fined $9,000 for social media posts that Merchan said violated the court's gag order. 

As a criminal defendant in the Manhattan case, it's mandatory for Trump to appear in court each day. 

The trial is being conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. 

This week, court wasn't held Monday due to the Jewish holiday of Passover. 

Tuesday's proceedings marked the start of week three. 

Barron will graduate on Friday, May 17 from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, as Barron, Melania and the former president moved to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House in January 2021. 

He previously attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, during the four years his father was in the White House.

The 18-year-old is Trump's only child with third wife Melania. 

And as the youngest child, and a minor during Trump's term in office, he was largely kept out of the public eye - while his half-siblings Donald Trump Jr., Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany played more prominent and political roles.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba echoed her client's frustration about potentially missing Barron's graduation earlier this month. 

'You're not even allowing a father – never mind a former president – but a father attend his son's graduation?' Habba said in an interview: 'It's just a sad state of affairs for the American people. I can assure you of that.' 

Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump's former chief of staff and communications director told DailyMail.com earlier this month that she bets the former first lady 'wasn't happy' that Trump made a stink about potentially missing Barron's big day. 

'He talked about missing Barron's graduation to the cameras and then again on Truth Social because it caused a lot of coverage about that and it's just not something she would have liked,' Grisham said. 

'No reason to put such a happy occasion into new stories like that, which will follow their son everywhere. I thought it was incredibly selfish of him to use Barron in that way,' the ex-staffer said. 

Grisham resigned amid the Capitol attack on January 6 and went on to write a tell-all about her time serving in the Trump administration.
