America First Legal (AFL) has filed a lawsuit against New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan for failing to release his financial disclosures amidst concerns regarding his daughter's involvement with a Democratic firm. The lawsuit also names the New York State Unified Court System's Ethics Commission.
The legal action follows AFL's demand for Merchan's financial records, which were initially requested in June and reiterated through a demand letter last week. New York law mandates judges to submit annual financial disclosures, which must be accessible upon request.
