Judge Juan Merchan Hit with Official Ethics Complaint, Accused of 'Judicial Misconduct'

The judge hearing the case in which former President Donald Trump is charged with falsifying business records has been slapped with an official ethics complaint.

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, whose congressional district covers a vast swath of northern and central New York state, posted her complaint on social media platform X.

“I just filed an official judicial complaint with the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct against Acting Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for his clear violation of the Rules of Judicial Conduct for the New York State Unified Court System due to his family directly enriching itself off this sham trial against President Trump,” she wrote.
