Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Office utilized former President Trump’s defense team’s own arguments in opposing their request to have Judge Juan Merchan recused from the hush-money case amid allegations that Merchan’s daughter benefits financially from her work as a Democratic political consultant.
Trump’s lawyers contended that Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, financially benefits from the case against Trump through her role at Authentic Campaigns, Inc. However, Bragg’s assistant district attorneys argued that there were no new circumstances warranting a reconsideration of the court’s previous denial of the recusal motion.
