FROM DAILY MAIL: A judge whose $1.5 million beach house burned down after a suspected arson explosion has spoken to the Daily Mail in the wake of the horrific inferno.
Judge Diane Goodstein, 69, said: ‘I’m alright,’ when contacted Monday morning, two days after her property in Edisto Beach, South Carolina, was consumed by flames.
Several reports said the circuit court judge had received death threats over the past few weeks following her decision to prevent the state from handing over sensitive voter registration documents to the federal government.
Goodstein sounded cheerful over the phone and said she would be ‘happy to direct you to a court administratior’ to answer further questions about the fire.
While the judge was engaged in a stroll along the beach, the suspected arson attack occurred, coincidentally just weeks after she had delivered a definitive ruling against the Trump administration.
Law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the incident, but at this time there is no suggestion of any MAGA link to the fire.
