(RestoreAmericanGlory.com) – In the midst of former President Trump’s hush money case, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the trial, became a target of Trump’s criticism. Trump expressed his frustration on Truth Social regarding a gag order that Judge Merchan had implemented. He specifically mentioned Merchan’s daughter, Loren, a Democratic political consultant and former executive at Authentic Campaigns, a firm involved with campaigns for several Democratic leaders, including President Biden.
Loren Merchan’s professional ties and her activity on social media, where she reportedly once displayed an image of Trump in prison as her profile picture, have drawn attention and criticism from Trump. He questioned the fairness of the judicial process, suggesting that the judge’s decisions could be influenced by his daughter’s political affiliations and work.
Judge Merchan had issued a directive preventing Trump from making public statements about case-related individuals and their families if intended to disrupt the case’s integrity. This action came after Trump’s comments about the judge’s family, particularly his daughter, which Merchan indicated influenced his decision to implement the gag order.
Trump’s attorneys had called for Merchan to step down from the case due to perceived conflicts of interest linked to his daughter’s career. However, Merchan remained on the case following consultation with a judicial ethics advisory committee.
This gag order marks the third such restriction on Trump in recent times, with previous orders in separate legal battles concerning his speech about the 2020 election and a New York civil fraud case.
