Former President Donald Trump has escalated tensions in his New York hush-money case by sharing multiple articles critical of Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter, Loren Merchan, on Truth Social. This move comes shortly after Judge Merchan expanded a gag order to prevent Trump from making public statements about his daughter. Despite the gag order, Trump posted links to articles, including those by Laura Loomer, which allege anti-Trump bias and conflicts of interest due to Loren Merchan's part ownership of Authentic Campaigns, a company that has received more than $18 million and worked with prominent Democrats. Trump's actions have raised questions about the violation of the gag order and led to a motion filed by Trump requesting Judge Merchan's recusal from the trial, citing the potential conflict of interest.
