Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the high-profile Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial against former President Donald Trump, is now under scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest related to his daughter’s political activities.
Loren Merchan, the judge’s daughter, is a political operative with far-left affiliations, having worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. Her firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received significant payments from Democratic campaigns, including tens of millions of dollars aimed at opposing Trump.
Recent filings by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show payments made to Loren Merchan’s firm for political services, further raising concerns about impartiality in the legal proceedings involving Trump. Critics argue that these ties raise ethical questions, as Democrats seeking to defeat Trump financially benefit from Loren Merchan’s work while her father oversees related legal matters.
The situation has prompted accusations of bias, with some suggesting the trial could be used as a tool to benefit Democrats politically. GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik said Kamala Harris paid Loren Merchan’s company.
“Today I filed a new judicial ethics complaint with the New York State Commission because new evidence on Kamala Harris’ most recent FEC filing shows she hired and paid Acting Justice Juan Merchan’s adult daughter’s company,” GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced on Friday.
“This is a clear violation of the New York State Judicial Code of Conduct which dictates that a judge must recuse from a case where a relative up to and including the sixth degree has a financial interest in the outcome of the case,” she said.
Judge Merchan still has not recused himself from Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial.

America First Legal (AFL) has filed a lawsuit against Judge Juan Merchan, demanding the release of his financial disclosures amid allegations that his daughter’s political firm has financially benefited from his role in the trial against former President Donald Trump.
AFL argues that Judge Merchan, who presided over the Manhattan District Attorney’s ‘hush money’ case against Trump, is legally required to submit annual financial disclosures under New York law. The lawsuit highlights concerns over potential conflicts of interest, given that his daughter, Loren Merchan, runs a political firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., which AFL claims has made tens of millions of dollars from Democratic clients connected to anti-Trump efforts.
“Clearly, Justice Merchan’s daughter and her clients stand to profit handsomely from lawfare against President Trump,” AFL wrote in its lawsuit, according to Fox News.
Adding to the controversy, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan recently subpoenaed Loren Merchan’s company, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., to investigate its involvement in political efforts surrounding Trump, further intensifying scrutiny on the judge and his family’s ties to Democratic interests.
This is just a old play like Hillary’s Russia files. She got away with it because she had the Democratic party covering her back. Also Nancy Pelosi got away with the j6 lies and trail against a setting President because the Democratic cover every thing up she did. She had all view tapes disappeared, all written record are sealed so the cheating and lies can not come to light. people will believe what the hear from this demographic party,and will vote them back in office. I you need proof look at California.
Exactly, goes on and on, which is why they continue to do it with the aid of the MSM!
How old is this article? This plainly OBVIOUS conflict of interest was pointed out before the trial ever started. Merchan knew he is and was conflicted and refused to recuse himself. His family DIRECTLY profited from the trial against Trump. These points are the reasons so many Americans have associated that trial to those in a banana republic.
Of course Biden and Harris contributed money to Merchan’s family. Those two had THE LARGEST stake in seeing Trump convicted. Those two, and of course their lapdog media friends NEEDED to call Trump a convicted felon. They used Merchan to ensure they got their talking point.
It doesn’t matter the outcome of any appeal. The Democrat Party officials paid Merchan, through his daughter to ensure the verdict they wanted was reached. Look up the citizens who were polled for jury duty. Many have given statements. During voir dire, EVERY potential juror who didn’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome was dismissed. The same reason they would NOT allow a change of venue. Merchan knew his district voted 95% for Biden.
Biden, Harris and their media friends needed to be able to call Trump a convicted felon..
No Surprise !-Since That’s How The K.K.K. Operate!-This Being Only ONE Operation That Has Been Discovered?-You Can Expect 100’s More Starting With Pelousi And Ending Back With The Jopedo Regime!!-Its ALL About $$ And Manipulation and ZERO Transparency!!-Unless Your Smart Enough To Do Some Research?
Trump should sue him for millions of dollars personally and then sue NYState for millions of dollars for fraud corruption and conspiracies. Can’t wait to see NYC burn to the ground because of asshole democrats. Kathy Huchass is going to be indicted really soon. Watch and see she’s going down
We can bitch and moan all we want about crooked Democrats but nothings
going to change. The only answer is to get down in the sewer with them.
CHANGE = Rise, Revolt, Armed to the teeth and teach Socialist-Democrats, Media liars, and Anthony Fauci a LESSON the World will soon not forget.
Pelosi committed treason, Hillary Rodham Clinton committed treason, Susan Rice committed treason, and Barry Soetoro Obama committed treason.
When WE RISE TOGETHER each of these individuals will Die.
