in World News Kash Patel Moves to Investigate Judge Merchan’s Family Over Anti-Trump Courtroom Corruption
by
FBI Director Kash Patel is moving to launch an investigation into anti-Trump New York City Judge Juan Merchan and his family.
Patel is urging Congress to probe the judge and his family, alleging financial misconduct tied to Merchan’s courtroom.
Merchan, a Joe Biden donor, oversaw the Democrats’ so-called “hush money” case against President Donald Trump that was led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
During the trial, it emerged that the Columbia-born judge had deep ties to the Democratic Party.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, worked on the election campaigns of several high-profile Democrats, including Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
During an appearance on Fox News with Trace Gallagher, Patel announced his push for subpoenas to uncover whether Merchan’s daughter’s company profited from information leaked from the judge’s court.
Patel claims that Merchan’s daughter’s company has received over $15 million from leaked information related to the Trump trial.
Now, the FBI chief is calling for a thorough investigation into the financial transactions.
“It’s shockingly unconstitutional, Trace,” Patel said during the segment.
