Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., talks at the House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing on “Columbia in Crisis: Columbia University’s Response to Antisemitism” on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, April 17, 2024. House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik accused New York’s courts of a politically motivated scheme to install Judge Juan Merchan to oversee multiple cases against former President Donald Trump and his allies.
She argued that the random selection method employed by the court to select a judge from a pool of two dozen judges appeared not so random at all. Last week, the lawmaker called for a conflict-of-interest investigation into Judge Merchan in a complaint filed with the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct because of his daughter’s ties to Democratic-affiliated organizations.
