The committee’s inquiry, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), scrutinizes Judge Juan Merchan over an alleged conflict of interest surrounding his daughter’s work. These concerns stem from the role of his daughter, Loren Merchan, as president of the firm Authentic Campaigns, which has engaged in work for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, among other top Democrats.

“The Committee is investigating ‘whether Authentic Campaigns services President Trump’s political adversaries… The requested material will inform the House’s consideration of whether to move forward with legislation… which, if adopted, would remedy politically motivated local prosecutions by allowing a current or former president to remove the case to a more neutral forum in federal court,” Jordan wrote in a letter addressed to Michael Nellis, CEO of Authentic Campaigns.

The subpoena on Wednesday follows a series of congressional requests for more information from the firm that has not been fulfilled, prompting Jordan to issue the subpoena after the firm’s multiple failures to “comply with our earlier voluntary requests.”

Specifically, the committee is investigating whether Juan Merchan’s impartiality could be compromised due to his daughter’s role in a firm that has worked with prominent political adversaries of Trump.

For example, Authentic Campaigns reportedly received over $7 million for services provided during Harris’s 2019 presidential campaign and was also involved in the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign, according to the committee’s letter.

The letter requests Authentic Campaigns to produce responsive materials related to the inquiry by Sept. 13. If the company maintains that it has no responsive records, the committee requested “a sworn certification under the penalty of perjury that Authentic Campaigns made a reasonable, diligent, and good faith search for responsive documents and was unable to locate any responsive documents.”

Trump was found guilty by a jury in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records related to concealing a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in a case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump is currently fighting to delay sentencing over the conviction, citing the upcoming election and the recent Supreme Court immunity decision in a broader effort to dismiss the case outright.

The judge most recently denied Trump’s third request to recuse from the case on Aug. 14, accusing Trump’s legal team of using “innuendo and mischaracterizations” to argue Merchan had a conflict of interest in the case.

“This Court now reiterates for the third time, that which should already be clear — innuendo and mischaracterizations do not a conflict create,” Merchan wrote. “Recusal is therefore not necessary, much less required.”

Trump’s scrutiny of Merchan’s daughter began earlier this year, before the trial, when he surfaced pictures on social media of Loren Merchan with prominent Democratic lawmakers such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). This behavior led in part to Trump receiving a gag order during his trial, which precluded him from making public comments about the family of prosecutors and court staff, as well as jurors.

The former president released a statement referencing the alleged conflict involving the judge’s daughter Wednesday, calling the case the “lawless Manhattan D.A. Hoax.”

“When asked about the lawless Manhattan D.A. Hoax, I am not allowed to talk about the most important and corrupt aspects of it, because of the completely unConstitutional Gag Order. I am the first Candidate in American History who is not allowed to freely speak about a major Witch Hunt being perpetrated against him,” Trump said. “I must be immediately released from the Gag Order, so I can continue to expose the Weaponization of our Justice System by the Radical Democrats.”

Merchan is poised to rule in the coming days or weeks on whether the immunity decision did in any way taint the trial, or whether to proceed with sentencing on Sept. 18 at 10 a.m.
