The case is about Trumps lies not the judge or his daughter, this is the usual diversion tactics of Trump.What did Trump claim?
There is a well-documented pattern of Trump attacking witnesses and bashing judges when he doesn’t like their testimony or rulings. He deployed this same tactic in the New York case, but went even farther by targeting Merchan’s adult daughter, Loren Merchan.
Last week, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Judge Merchan is a “certified Trump hater” and said Loren Merchan is a senior executive at “a Super Liberal Democrat firm” that has worked with top Democrats, including President Joe Biden.
Trump also peddled the discredited claimed that Loren Merchan posted an incendiary image of the former president behind bars on her social media account – an account that the court said didn’t even belong to her. Trump also claimed Judge Merchan has ruled against him in pretrial motions “because his daughter makes money by working to ‘Get Trump.’”
The focus on Merchan’s daughter began last year when the judge was assigned to the case. It flared up last week with an article about her in the conservative New York Post. Loren Merchan has not commented publicly on the case and couldn’t be reached by CNN.
