The beef between Trump and the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) is sizzling hot, with Bragg slinging accusations that Trump fumbled the ball by not disclosing hush-money payments on business records. Trump, on the other hand, is adamant about his innocence and crying foul, saying Bragg is just trying to play dirty politics on behalf of President Joe Biden.
Trump is not playing games as he gears up for jury selection in the upcoming weeks. He’s shaking things up by aiming to boot Merchan off the case.
Trump’s legal eagles dropped a bombshell by pointing out that Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is in cahoots with Authentic Campaigns, Inc., a big player in the Democrat scene. They say this cozy connection creates a conflict of interest that could sway the case’s outcome.
NBC News chirped in, sharing that Trump has taken a swing at getting Merchan off the case before, but Merchan keeps shrugging it off. It’s like a legal tug-of-war with no end in sight.
The big brains in law, like Alan Dershowitz, are giving Trump a head nod on this one, saying Merchan should step aside due to the shady family ties. The plot thickens just weeks before the trial kicks off. Stay tuned for the next episode of Trump vs. the Legal System!
