America First Legal sued Judge Juan Merchan for financial disclosures amid reports his daughter’s political firm has made tens of millions of dollars from Democrats exploiting lawfare cases against Trump, including one that Merchan himself is overseeing. Despite the fact that he is very conflicted in the case and refuses to disclose his finances as required by law, this corrupt judge refused several times to recuse himself. The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case. AFL sued Juan Merchan and argued that under New York law, all judges must report their finances every year. Not that a judge like Merchan gives a crap about the law. He is all about ideology and money.
AFL wrote in its lawsuit:
“Clearly, Justice Merchan’s daughter and her clients stand to profit handsomely from lawfare against President Trump.”
Fox News reported:
America First Legal (AFL) is suing New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan for refusing to turn over his financial disclosures amid questions about his daughter’s work at a Democratic firm, Fox News Digital has learned.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELAFL sued Merchan, who presided over former President Donald Trump’s six-week-long trial in New York v. Trump, stemming from the yearslong investigation out of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. They also sued the New York State Unified Court System’s Ethics Commission.
The lawsuit comes after the AFL sent a demand letter last week for Merchan’s financial disclosures, threatening legal action. The AFL previously requested those records in June.
Under New York law, judges are required to file annual financial disclosures, which are required to be made available upon request.
“The law is clear that judicial financial disclosures must be released to the public,” AFL Vice President Dan Epstein told Fox News Digital. “New York’s highest court has stated that such disclosures are necessary for parties before the courts to get a fair shake.”
Epstein said the public “needs to know what Judge Merchan is hiding or even if he failed to file financial disclosures at all.”
Last month House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed the company, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., of Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter Loren.
