Stefanik Pushes for New Ethics Probe into Judge Over Daughter's Harris Campaign Work

House Republican Chairwoman Elise Stefanik calls for investigation into Judge Juan Merchan, citing potential conflict of interest involving his daughter's firm.

  • Stefanik's complaint follows a $468 payment from Kamala Harris's campaign to Loren Merchan's firm, Authentic Campaigns.
  • The payment was made shortly after Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, raising concerns about impartiality.
  • Judge Merchan recently postponed Trump's sentencing to after the election, heightening scrutiny.
  • Stefanik argues that the judge's daughter's financial interests could impact the trial's fairness.
  • Previous complaints against Merchan were dismissed, but new information has prompted this renewed inquiry.
