Surprise! Judge Merchan's Daughter Made $12.7 Million Fundraising Off Anti-Trump Politicking in the First Half of This Year Alone

No conflict of interest here!

Julie Kelly:

Loren Merchan, owner of Authentic Campaigns, nearly doubled her business from this same time two years ago. Having daddy preside over the New York trial of Donald Trump sure does help!

Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year.

Federal election reports show Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm owned by Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump in New York City.

...

According to the firm's website, Authentic Campaigns specializes in "digital marketing and fundraising."

The boom in business coincided with Trump's six-week trial in Merchan's Manhattan courtroom, which began on April 15. Prior to the start of the jury trial, Merchan repeatedly sided with Bragg while demonstrating open hostility to the former president. Merchan imposed a gag order early on and then proceeded to deny nearly every defense motion.

Two weeks into the trial, Merchan held Trump in contempt for violating the gag order.

Merchan, of course, should never have been near the case but he thwarted every legal attempt to get him removed.
