Journalist Uncovers Alleged Link Between Judge’s Wife and Attorney General in Trump Trial
Conservative investigative journalist Laura Loomer alleges a potential conflict of interest in the New York criminal trial of former President Donald Trump.
Loomer claims to have uncovered a link between Judge Juan Merchan’s wife, Lara Merchan, and Letitia James, the state’s Democratic Attorney General prosecuting Trump for alleged business fraud.
Lara Merchan’s employment history with the Attorney General’s Office from 2009 to 2022, particularly during James’ tenure since 2019, raises concerns about impartiality.
Loomer suggests Lara’s role as a special assistant likely involved handling pertinent case information. Meanwhile, Trump has criticized Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, for alleged bias due to her Democratic political activism. Despite Trump’s efforts, Judge Merchan denied a request to delay the trial.
