I can’t think of a better case of an unfair trial by a prejudiced judge than the so-called “hush money” case.
The former President’s legal team recently filed a motion to delay the start of the trial until a truly fair venue could be found.
An appellate court judge has since denied that motion to delay the trial until it is moved out of Manhattan.
How can President Trump get a fair trial with the likes of Juan Merchan? Jesse Watters correctly pointed out:
“Trump’s been banned from talking about the judge’s family in the so-called hush money case in New York.
Why? Because the judge’s family was paid by the Biden campaign and is currently being paid by Adam Schiff.
Trump isn’t allowed to say the judge’s daughter is a Democrat consultant whose clients are fundraising off Trump’s indictment. The judge’s family is getting rich off Trump trials… and he’s presiding over one.”

The Associated Press had more on the story:
Justice Lizbeth González of the state’s mid-level appeals court ruled after an emergency hearing Monday where Trump’s lawyers asked that she postpone the trial indefinitely while they seek a change of venue.
They contended the presumptive Republican nominee faces “real potential prejudice” in heavily Democratic Manhattan and said the jury pool has been polluted by news coverage of Trump’s other recent cases.
NTD News also revealed: “The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s hush money case released a questionnaire for jury selection and stated that prospective jurors will not be asked about their voting preferences.”

The Epoch Times provided a long list of actions Judge Juan Merchan has taken against President Trump:
On April 3, he rejected a motion to postpone the trial until the Supreme Court has reviewed the presidential immunity defense and to hold an evidentiary hearing about the high court’s decision.
On April 1, the judge upheld and expanded the gag order that he issued to cover his and the district attorney’s family members.
On April 5, the prosecutors objected to the defense’s second request for a recusal, and the judge is set to imminently issue a decision.
