Loren Merchan Silent As Her Clients Raise Millions From Trump Conviction Her Dad Oversaw
SUMMARY
Clients of Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, are profiting from former President Trump's conviction in a trial overseen by her father. Loren’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, did not respond to conflict of interest queries. Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, a client, fundraised off the verdict, paying the firm nearly $5 million this election cycle. Senate Majority PAC also fundraised, emphasizing the need to counter "GOP extremists." Judge Merchan’s political donations violate ABA rules. His conduct during the trial, criticized as partisan, has prompted Rep. JD Vance to urge Attorney General Garland to investigate by June 28, 2024.
