The judge who presided over Donald Trump's arraignment appears to have donated $15 to Joe Biden's 2020 campaign, federal campaign contribution data shows.
Neither a spokesperson for the state court system nor the judge’s personal chambers responded to requests for comment when asked whether the judge made those donations.
The third donation, $15 to Biden one day prior, is the only other federal political donation attributed to a Juan Merchan of New York in the Federal Election Commission’s database, which spans multiple decades. These donations span a variety of groups of both parties, including groups affiliated with Trump. And other judges donated to Biden’s 2020 campaign on the same report where the Merchan donation appears.
The donations likely only continue to fuel Trump’s criticism of the judge and his family, who he’s accused of being biased against him .
