House GOP demands Judge Merchan’s daughter provide records of work for Kamala Harris

The House Judiciary Committee launched an investigation Thursday into the daughter of the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s case in New York, citing her marketing work for prominent Democrats — including Trump’s 2024 opponent.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked Loren Merchan in a letter to provide numerous documents and communications related to her work for Authentic Campaigns, a top Democratic marketing firm that has engaged in lucrative business with Trump’s top political rivals.

“Experts have raised substantial concerns with Judge [Juan] Merchan, your father, refusing to recuse himself from President Trump’s case despite your work on behalf of President Trump’s political adversaries and the financial benefit that your firm, Authentic Campaigns Inc., could receive from the prosecution and conviction,” Jordan wrote.

The chairman asked Loren Merchan for contracts or invoices her firm had for marketing work it performed for the campaigns of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, and the Democratic National Committee.
