Trump had been pushing for weeks to attend his son’s high school graduation. The judge presiding over his criminal trial in Manhattan, Judge Juan Merchan, had left the decision on whether to allow Trump to attend in limbo.
Merchan ultimately granted Trump’s request to attend Barron’s graduation, but he denied Trump’s request to attend arguments at the Supreme Court on April 25 regarding the matter of presidential immunity.
"Barron’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," Trump said before Merchan granted his request to miss a day in court for the "scam trial."
Oxbridge Academy describes itself as a "premier, independent, co-educational college-preparatory school located on a beautiful 54-acre campus in West Palm Beach, Florida."

During proceedings at the hush money trial in New York City on Thursday, Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, answered numerous questions related to his time working for Trump, including whether he had hoped to secure a role at the White House in the Trump administration, how Trump reacted to the initial story of his and Stormy Daniels' alleged sexual encounter, and whether he believed he played a role in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment of Trump.
Cohen said he "took some credit" for the 34-count indictment waged against Trump, who he once admitted to referring to as "dumb*ss Donald."
