Last year, Fox News reported that the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial had made donations to both President Joe Biden and the left-wing Progressive Turnout Project.
Following Trump’s conviction last week, renewed scrutiny was given to these financial connections, as well as those between the judge’s daughter and Democratic politicians.
As reported by The Inquisitr, social media users have alleged that Judge Juan Merchan is biased, with one individual sharing a Fox News host Jesse Watters video supporting this claim.
WTF!! So, Judge Merchan donated to the "Progressive Turnout Project" & it's subsidiary the "STOP TRUMP" organization??!! OMG, are you kidding me right now?!!👇 pic.twitter.com/xSNRMvM3YB

“And then you find out that the judge, not only an Obama donor, donated to the Progressive Turnout Project, and its subsidiary Stop Trump,” Watters remarked.
“The judge donated to a Stop Trump organization,” the host went on to stress before adding, “And his family is going to financially benefit from the conviction.”
Watters made a second point about Loren Merchan, who holds the position of chief operating officer and president at Authentic Campaigns.
According to The New York Post, this Democrat-aligned political consulting firm utilized Trump’s trial in fundraising campaigns that raised around $93 million.
Authentic Campaigns’ website lists President Biden, Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Oregon Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek, and California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff as some of its clients.
Watters also raised questions about whether Merchan was coincidentally assigned to Trump’s case, given his involvement in trials concerning the Trump Organization and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
That fact also hasn’t gone unnoticed by New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who raised the issue in a letter sent last month to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
“One cannot help but suspect that the ‘random selection’ at work in the assignment of Acting Justice Merchan, a Democrat Party donor, to these cases involving prominent Republicans, is in fact not random at all,” Stefanik wrote.
“If justices were indeed being randomly assigned in the Criminal Term, the probability of two specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is quite low, and the probability of three specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is infinitesimally small,” she noted.
“If Acting Justice Merchan or any other Justices of the Court are found to have violated these rules, I would hope that the Commission would subject them to the required discipline,” the lawmaker continued.

This guy is not in the least concerned about what he did to get Trump convicted or if there are any reprecussions over it, he is protected as are all possible communist followers within the Democrat party! They know they will also have the election in the bag and that is why they continue to try and strip rights rom citizens, especially gun rights fearing the possibility of a civil war!
What if anything, will happen to this judge that presided over Trump trial? Too many questions and no one will do anything, but the left keep on lying and cheating and for what? for power? money? prestige? The devil said to Jesus: I will give you anything if you bow before me and adore me. Sounds familiar?
This Commie scumbag judge will pay for his treason!
Trump must have been aware of that. Why couldn’t he at least protest, if not fight the appointment of this judge to hear his case?
All the more reason to go straight to SOOUS. It proves he is biased against Trump. He needs removed from the bench. There so many mistakes it should be thrown out.
God Bless the Trump family.
This corrupt judge hanging by rope in Central Park would send a strong message to other corrupt Marxist judges.
Hey, it’s all part of the ‘Plan’. This entire ‘Get Trump’ campaign has been in the works since 2016 when Trump unexpectedly won. George Soros and the DNC have employed an army of lawyers, operatives and political hacks that have worked for years to come up with a whole list of possible ways to ‘Get Trump’. Collusion within the Deep State and FJB’s administration have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to prevent their political opponent from running for re-election. Hack judge Merchan is just one part of the ‘machine’ to make sure that Donald J. Trump can’t get re-elected.
The silence from the Dems is deafening. They’re so worried about Alito flying a flag upside down at his vacation home, but don’t seem to have any problem with the judge openly antagonistic against Trump. Merchan should be tarred and feathered for this.
I just watched a video of an individual being interviewed about this case. He did not vote for Trump, certainly doesn’t agree with some of his policies, yet he is honest enough to see and admit the judicial bias on display. I think that many feel the same way. If a man like trump can be treated so poorly by our own government, what chance would any of us I have?
