Juan Merchan and Trump
Juan Merchan is the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal trial concerning hush-money payments related to the 2016 election. Merchan, a Colombian-born American, has a history of overseeing cases involving Trump, including a tax fraud trial against the Trump Organization.
Trump has publicly criticized Merchan, labeling him a “Trump hater” and alleging bias due to Merchan’s daughter’s work for Democratic candidates.
Despite Trump’s attempts to have Merchan recused, the judge has maintained his impartiality and control over the courtroom, denying requests for delays and asserting that he will not tolerate intimidation tactics from Trump.
