Judge Reggie Walton, who was first appointed by President Ronald Reagan, accused Trump of 'tearing this country apart.'
"You know, I think our democracy is in trouble," Walton said at the conclusion of the trial."Because unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president, who doesn't in my view really care about democracy, but only about power. And as a result of that, it's tearing this country apart."
"I have a concern that we have, unfortunately, American citizens who were so gullible that they were willing to accept what was being said without any proof that the allegations about the election had any merit whatsoever," the judge warned."People are just outraged at how they feel our system is not taking seriously what happened on that day because of their fear of the future of this country.

Judge finds Tesla liable to Black former worker who alleged bias, but slashes payout(Reuters) -A federal judge said on Wednesday Tesla Inc was liable to a Black elevator operator who said the electric car company ignored racial abuse at the factory where he worked, but reduced a nearly $137 million jury award to $15 million. U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco ruled after jurors last October found that Tesla subjected Owen Diaz to a hostile environment at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California by allowing and failing to stop the racism he faced. Diaz, who worked at the plant for nine months in 2015 and 2016, said other employees used racist slurs when speaking to him, and scrawled swastikas and slurs including the 'N-word' on bathroom walls.
