Judge Juan Merchan is the judge in the case against Donald Trump related to the “falsifying records” case. Donald Trump’s team tried to get him to recuse himself given Merchan’s connections to his daughter. She runs a company that assists Democrats. Congressman Jim Jordan, House Judiciary Committee Chairman, is investigating this case and the circumstances surrounding it. Jordan is looking at conflict of interests and potential political motivations for going after Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“As such, the Committee is left with no choice but to resort to compulsory process,” Jordan wrote. “Popularly elected prosecutors, such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, have engaged in an unprecedented abuse of authority by prosecuting a former President of the United States and current nominee for that office. Of relevance to the Committee’s oversight is the impartiality of Judge Juan Merchan, the presiding trial judge, due to his refusal to recuse himself from the case in light of his apparent conflicts of interest and biases.”<\/p>\n

“One such conflict is Ms. Merchan’s–daughter of Judge Merchan and President of Authentic Campaigns–work on behalf of President Trump’s political adversaries and the possible financial benefit that Ms. Merchan and Authentic Campaigns received from the prosecution and conviction of President Trump.”<\/p>\n

Jordan said public reports indicated to him that both Nellis and Loren Merchan were “closely involved in the presidential campaigns of both President Biden and Vice President Harris.”<\/p>\n

“During Ms. Merchan’s employment with the Harris campaign, Authentic Campaigns received over $7 million in compensation for its services. You also worked for then-presidential candidate Harris and it appears you continue to do so. Authentic Campaigns conducted work for the 2020 Biden-Harris campaign and, according to public records, was paid just over $2 million in a one-month period for its work,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

The subpoena is narrower in scope than Jordan’s previous request for information. His Aug. 1 letter demanded Loren Merchan hand over documents related to any work for Biden and Harris, in addition to any work that refers to Trump’s prosecution or indictment.<\/p>\n

Jordan is giving Nellis until Sept. 13 to comply, according to the subpoena viewed by Fox News Digital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
