Former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania attended their son Barron's high school graduation ceremony in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, during a break in Trump's New York criminal trial. Judge Juan Merchan granted Trump's request to attend the graduation but denied his request to attend Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity.
Barron, 18, is one of 116 seniors at the Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach that received their diplomas Friday, according to The Palm Beach Post. Images show Trump and Melania in attendance to watch Barron walk across the stage.
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.
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."
"Founded in 2011 by philanthropist William I. Koch, Oxbridge Academy empowers students in grades 6-12, providing an outstanding education through a distinctive curriculum, an enriching environment, and an expert faculty helping them navigate their educational journeys with agility, confidence, and purpose," it says on its website.
"Annual graduating classes receive 100% acceptance to four-year colleges and universities, with 50% attending a top 100 U.S. university or a top 50 liberal arts college," it adds.
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."
Cohen's testimony is expected to resume Monday when the court reconvenes at 9:30 a.m. ET.
