Former President Trump and his legal team have filed a motion requesting that Judge Juan Merchan be recused from the trial on hush money allegations due to his daughter's Democrat-affiliated political work and alleged 'hostility' against the 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Trump’s lawyers stated in a 37-page motion filed Friday afternoon that Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, has a direct financial interest in the proceedings through her ownership stake and leadership role at Authentic Campaigns, Inc., a company that exclusively services Democrat clients and is ranked as the #21 vendor in connection with the 2024 election.
