House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is pushing for an inquiry into the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York over allegations that his daughter is using the criminal indictment for personal financial gain.
In an ethics complaint submitted Friday to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, Stefanik pressed the board to reconsider opening an investigation into Judge Juan Merchan over allegations that his daughter is leveraging Trump’s high-profile hush money trial to make money through her fundraising agency. The complaint comes months after Stefanik filed an initial inquiry request that was later rejected by the commission.
