Elise Stefanik Files Ethics Complaint Against Hush Money Judge Over Conflict of Interest with Kamala Harris
Sep 6, 2024, 07:31 PM
Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has filed a judicial ethics complaint with the New York State Commission against Acting Justice Juan Merchan. The complaint is based on new evidence from Kamala Harris's most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing, which shows that Harris's campaign hired and paid the political consulting company owned by Merchan's daughter, Loren Merchan, who is the president of Authentic. This situation has raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest, as Judge Merchan is presiding over the high-profile Trump hush money trial. The complaint alleges that this connection violates the New York State Judicial Code of Conduct. Additionally, checks were sent to the personal home residence of Judge Merchan’s daughter’s business partner, Mike Nellis.
