President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron Trump walk across the South Lawn before leaving the White House in 2019. Barron's high school graduation is next month.
  • Donald Trump will get a break from his criminal trial to attend Barron's high school graduation.
  • Trump had asked the judge in his hush-money case for the day off.
  • On Tuesday, noting jury selection wrapped up quickly, the judge allowed it.

Former President Donald Trump can attend his son Barron's high school graduation after all.

Trump's lawyers asked New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan on April 15 — the first day of jury selection in his hush-money criminal trial — if the court would recess that day so the former president could attend the milestone event.
