The New York judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money case donated $35 to Democrats in 2020, public records show.
State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is presiding over the case against Trump related to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Merchan, who is also presiding over a separate case against former Trump aide Steve Bannon and oversaw a suit against the Trump Organization, made a $15 donation to President Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign in late July of that year, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last week on charges related to the hush money matter, marking the first time a former U.S. president has been criminally charged.
