DAUGHTER OF JUDGE OVERSEEING TRUMP ‘HUSH MONEY’ CASE USING TRIAL TO FUNDRAISE FOR DEMOCRATS: REPORT
Judge Juan Merchan set the trial start date for President Trump’s “hush money” case for April 15, 2024, right in the middle of the heated presidential election season.
Trump has derided the case as “election interference” and slammed “Biden and his thugs” for allegedly instigating the case against him in the first place, along with other dramatic legal battles that he is currently facing.
According to a report from The Gateway Pundit, Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, has allegedly aided the clients of her political consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns, in raising tens of millions of dollars by utilizing the Trump case to drive donations.
“Both Schiff and the Senate Majority PAC have raised $93 million as clients of Merchan’s firm and are even using the politically driven case in fundraising emails,” TGP reported, pointing to an original reveal from The New York Post.

On Truth Social, Trump slammed Merchan and his daughter, calling her a “Rabid Trump Hater,” and accusing the judge of being “totally compromised.”
Judge Merchan denied the requests of Trump’s legal team, who had requested a postponement of the trial’s commencement date and a dismissal, as previously reported by RSN. Leading the case is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose office has come under fire from Trump’s campaign for allegedly not turning over roughly 100,000 pages of purported evidence documents sooner.
A “limited” gag order that Judge Merchan imposed on Trump last week, in advance of the trial’s start date of April 15, has also garnered harsh criticism from the president, according to CNBC.

Commenting on reports regarding Loren Merchan’s alleged use of her father’s high-profile case to rake in campaign cash for political clients, Trump posited on Truth Social, “Judge Merchan should be immediately sanctioned and recused, and this fake ‘case,’ only kept alive by the Highly Conflicted Judge, should be completely dismissed right away – THERE IS NO CASE, THERE IS NO CRIME.”
