Taking to Truth Social, Trump unloaded on Merchan, writing, “I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME!” He further accused Merchan of crafting a case “where there was none” and maintaining a gag order to prevent Trump from publicly defending himself. “The Fake News knows all about it, but they refuse to talk,” Trump added.
Trump also directly questioned Merchan’s impartiality, describing him as “the most conflicted judge in New York State history.” He accused the judge and the broader legal system of weaponizing the judiciary against him. “There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I,” Trump said in a follow-up post. He claimed that Merchan and other Democrat-aligned judges have acted out of hatred for his “Make America Great Again” platform, turning the U.S. judicial system into a global embarrassment.
Adding to the controversy are reports about the political activities of Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan. A Democrat political consultant, she works for Authentic Campaigns, a firm that has raised millions for prominent Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Critics have argued that this connection undermines the appearance of impartiality in a case involving the leading Republican presidential candidate.
Loren Merchan’s firm represents high-profile Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep. Dan Goldman, who previously assisted Michael Cohen in preparing testimony against Trump. The firm’s work has also tied it to fundraising efforts that spotlight Trump’s legal challenges as a selling point for Democrat campaigns.
Trump supporters have further pointed to reports that Judge Merchan personally donated to then-candidate Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign as evidence of bias. These revelations have fueled calls for an investigation into the judge’s conduct and his connections to partisan political interests.

As the January 10 sentencing date approaches, the political and legal battles surrounding Trump are set to intensify, ensuring this controversial case remains in the spotlight.
