Trump launches blistering attack on judges in 'disgraceful' travel ban hearing and calls it 'a sad day'

Donald Trump has angrily denounced the three judges hearing his travel ban appeal, describing the process as "disgraceful" and saying it was a "sad day" for the United States.

Addressing a conference of police chiefs, Mr Trump told the crowd he had listened to Tuesday's hearing with dismay.

"I won't say the court was biased. But so political," he said.

Mr Trump went on: "I listened to lawyers on both sides last night, they were talking about things that had nothing to do with it.

"It's so sad when you read something so perfectly written and so clear to anybody. I watched last night in amazement and I heard things I couldn't believe.

"I don't ever want to call a court biased so I won't call it biased, and we haven't had a decision yet, but courts seem to be so political. "But it would be so great for our sysem if they could read something and do what's right."

Who are the three judges who will decide on Donald Trump's travel ban?

Donald Trump's travel ban now hangs in the balance, with three San Francisco-based judges weighing up whether the ban should be reinstated, or kept on hold.

The three - Judge Richard Clifton, Judge Michelle Friedland and Judge William Canby - have been described as one of the most diverse judicial panels ever to be assembled.
