A Twitter/X account with a profile picture of Trump behind bars was created in April 2023 in her name. But her known account still exists, under a changed name.

Trump took to Truth Social Wednesday morning writing, "So let me get this straight. The Judge's daughter is allowed to post pictures of her dream' of putting me in jail, the Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution at every turn, but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating?" By 12:30 p.m. an AP story reported that the prison picture account appeared "to belong to Loren Merchan." Other outlets, including the Hill, repeated the claim Wednesday afternoon.

However:

A call to the Trump team was not returned at the time of publication. State OCA spokesman Al Baker confirmed The Spectator's reporting in a statement: "The X, formerly Twitter, account being attributed to Judge Merchan's daughter no longer belongs to her since she deleted it approximately a year ago. It is not linked to her email address, nor has she posted under that screenname since she deleted the account. Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned."

Background: It looks like something similar happened with regard to alleged posts made by Judge Engorgon's wife:

Judge Engoron's Wife Denies Posting Anti-Trump Messages

Newsweek was unable to verify that the account belonged to Dawn Engoron, and on Wednesday, she issued a firm denial. She told Newsweek on Wednesday afternoon that the account does not belong to her.

"I do not have a Twitter account. This is not me. I have not posted any anti Trump messages," she said.

Social media posts Trump claimed were made by judge's wife were not made by her, court says

Social media posts that former President Donald Trump claimed were made by the wife of the judge in his New York fraud trial were not made by her, a court spokesperson said.

"Justice Engoron's wife has not sent social media posts regarding the former president. They are not hers. She does not have an X, formerly Twitter, account," Al Baker, spokesperson for the New York Office of Court Administration, told CBS News.

If only there were some way to verify authentic users on that site.

Obviously, at this point, Trump is hearing what is over the line, and purposefully going over that line.

Any Republicans want to comment on his obvious attempts to be a pretend martyr?

And yet he persists:

After attacking over what court officials said was a hoax Twitter account that didn't belong to Justice Merchan's daughter, Trump on Truth Social attacks the justice's daughter again, this time by name.
