Harris Campaign Hired Marketing Firm Run by Judge Merchan’s Daughter, Ethics Complaint Reveals

Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign hired a marketing firm run by Judge Juan Merchan’s adult daughter, according to an ethics complaint that accuses the New York state supreme court justice of having a conflict of interest that should disqualify him from presiding over the hush-money case against former president Donald Trump.
...

 Any judge whose “relative up to and including the sixth degree has a financial interest in the outcome” of a particular case must recuse himself from that court case, according to New York’s code of judicial conduct. Merchan’s daughter is considered a relative in the first degree, Stefanik noted.

...

I have questioned the hush money case before.  In fact, I think those seeking the hush money should probably be indicted for extortion.  The judge has recently postponed the trial date until after the election.
