Nancy Grace reacts to attack on NJ judge's family: 'I don't think it's related' to Jeffrey Epstein case
'If you’re targeting the judge, you would go after the judge,' she says.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Reacting to the shooting that killed the son and wounded the husband of a New Jersey federal judge linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case, Fox Nation host Nancy Grace said on Monday that she does not think the crime was related to the high-profile matter.
“Getting threats for a judge or a prosecutor is actually commonplace,” Grace told “Fox & Friends.”
“She just got that case, which involves Deutsche Bank, this past Thursday. She hasn’t even had a chance to make a ruling in it yet. I don’t think that’s it. Yes, she’s been involved with cases involving the Crips, the Bloods, gangs, you name it, like every other judge. I would put it out there that if you’re targeting the judge, you would go after the judge,” Grace said.
