Vance implored the top DOJ official to investigate 'a possible criminal deprivation of rights' of former President Donald Trump in his hush-money trial.

He later accused Merchan of bending over “backwards to allow the prosecution to introduce whatever evidence it wants” and accused the judge’s daughter, Loren, of being a co-conspirator with Merchan and other prosecutors.
