On Monday, President Trump filed a lawsuit against Juan Merchan, the judge presiding over the Stormy Daniels “hush payment” trial, citing his far-left leanings.
Merchan recently extended the gag order against President Trump, but his credibility is questionable at best.
The Manhattan judge not only contributed to Biden’s campaign, but his daughter also runs a Democrat consulting firm.
While the details of the lawsuit are under seal, court records show that Trump sought a change of venue and requested a stay on the extended gag order.

Last Friday, Trump filed a motion seeking the recusal of Judge Juan Merchan due to his daughter’s political work.
The Stormy Daniels trial is scheduled to start on April 15.
CBS News reported:
Former President Donald Trump is again seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.
In a pair of sealed filings Monday, Trump asked an appellate court for a change of venue in the case and for a stay of a gag order that prevents Trump from commenting publicly on, among others, the judge’s daughter, who works for a Democrat-aligned consulting firm, according to a source familiar with the filings.
The documents are not public, but in an online court database, they appear under the headers “change of venue” and “stay.” Documents for an appeal related to a criminal proceeding are initially sealed while they’re reviewed for sensitive information.
Rep. Elise Stefanik emphasized that “The law and common sense absolutely requires Judge Merchan’s recusal from President Trump’s trial.”
Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who donated to Biden’s campaign and another anti-Trump cause in 2020, has a clear judicial bias against President Trump.

Judge Juan Merchan’s entire family is in bed with the Democrat Party.
-his daughter is the president of a massive democrat campaign operation
-she has taken MILLIONS of dollars from…
On Monday night, Juan Merchan extended Trump’s gag order, prohibiting him from criticizing his family members.
Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who previously worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has accepted tens of millions of dollars from Democrats aiming to stop President Trump. According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan assisted Democrats in raising $93 million through her father’s case.
In response, Trump criticized Juan Merchan and other leftist New York judges who ruled against him in various legal cases on Truth Social.
President Trump vowed to continue to tell the truth and said that he would “gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela,” and is willing to “sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”
Page 3: Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the “clink” for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR. We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause. We are a Failing Nation, but on November 5th, we will become a Great Nation again. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
