Judge in Trump case faces scrutiny over political donation to Biden campaign.
TL;DR Summary
Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal case in Manhattan, donated $35 to Democratic causes in 2020, including $15 to President Biden's campaign and $10 to a group dedicated to "resisting ... Donald Trump's radical right-wing legacy." Trump has criticized Merchan, calling him a "Trump-hating judge." Merchan listed his occupation as "judge" on the donation form, and his employer as the New York State Office of Court Administration.
