Rep. Stefanik Files Misconduct Complaint Against Judge Merchan Over Trump-Related Cases
May 28, 2024, 11:12 PM
Rep. Elise Stefanik has filed an official misconduct complaint with the New York State Unified Court System against Acting Manhattan Justice Juan Merchan. Stefanik alleges that Judge Merchan's assignment to preside over multiple Trump-related cases, including Trump's hush money case, was not random and may violate laws requiring judges to be randomly assigned to cases. She points to Merchan's role in two other Trump-related trials and his status as a Biden donor as potential conflicts of interest. Stefanik's complaint also highlights that Merchan's daughter is fundraising millions off his work, which she claims further indicates misconduct.
