Judge Juan Merchan has played a significant role in the trial of former President Donald Trump, according to legal experts. Merchan has been instrumental in assisting New York prosecutors, with some alleging that he has allowed improper evidence to be used against Trump. Critics argue that Merchan has disallowed a substantial amount of exonerating evidence, potentially skewing the trial in favor of the prosecution. Additionally, Merchan has issued gag orders limiting what Trump can say publicly about the trial, although his supporters continue to speak out. Notably, Merchan prevented former FEC chairman Brad Smith from testifying, citing concerns that Smith would 'explain the law' to the jury. The tweets discussing these events were posted on May 26, May 27, and May 28.
Merchan wants to be the sole individual who explains the law to the jurors. He prevented the most important witness in this trial, former FEC chairman Brad Smith, from testifying for fear he would "explain the law." Merchan is a despot bent on convicting Trump.

I'm so glad @LeaderMcConnell is standing up here. It's shameful what happened to @JusticeWillett - "After a judge ruled against them, the CFPB identified vague new parties-at-interest to ensnare the judge through his son’s college savings account... To its credit, the Judicial…
