Trump had been pushing for weeks to attend his son's graduation ceremony. 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 ceremony, but he denied Trump's request to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court on April 25 on the issue of presidential immunity.
“Barron is a great student and he is very proud of the fact that he did so well and has been looking forward to celebrating his graduation with his mother and father there for years,” Trump said before Merchan granted his request for a to miss a day in court for the “fraud trial.”
Oxbridge Academy describes itself as a “first-class, independent, coeducational, preparatory school on a beautiful 54-acre campus in West Palm Beach, Florida.”
