Former President Donald Trump has slammed New York state court Judge Juan Merchan, calling him ‘highly conflicted’ and politically biased ahead of the testimony of Michael Cohen in the case against Trump. Trump has repeatedly accused Merchan of being biased against him, citing his daughter’s work as a political consultant for Democratic politicians. The case focuses on Cohen paying former adult film actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 to allegedly quiet her claims of an alleged extramarital affair with Trump in 2006, which Trump has denied. Prosecutors allege that the Trump Organization reimbursed Cohen and fraudulently logged the payments as legal expenses.
