Last week, former President Trump launched a new assault against the judge in his hush money trial in Manhattan, this time reminding the public that the judge’s daughter is a Democratic political consultant and former Kamala Harris 2020 campaign staffer.
The judge’s daughter’s work, a long-known fact, was catapulted back into the national spotlight by Trump’s legal team after a series of failed motions. Trump argues this continues to raise conflict of interest concerns as the trial moves forward.
This new offensive closely follows the wider strategy from him and his legal team to delay and poke holes in the credibility of the several cases against him, a strategy which helped unseat the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election case and damaged Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ public image.
Trump thrust Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter back into the public spotlight via a post on his Truth Social platform last week, closely following the judge’s decision to permit both Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen to testify and to set an April 15 trial date. Trump’s legal team had sought to prevent Daniels’ and Cohen’s testimony and argued that further delays were warranted after federal prosecutors turned over hundreds of thousands of documents to them.
