WASHINGTON – Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna revealed on Thursday that Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter allegedly has ties to Vice President Kamala Harris through a firm that fundraised for her political campaigns. Luna made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” while discussing the ongoing trial against former President Donald Trump.

Luna joined Trump at the courthouse where he is facing charges from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for allegedly falsifying business records. She noted that Bragg’s key witness, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, was prepped for cross-examination by Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman. Goldman is purportedly a client of Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, who works at a firm that fundraises for Harris.

“Interestingly enough when Cohen started to be asked whether or not he thought that New York had a corrupt judicial system, he actually had his own quotes used against him. And Judge Merchan was actually sitting there uncomfortably moving in his seat,” Luna stated. She further described the trial as biased and corrupt, emphasizing the connections between Merchan’s daughter and Democratic politicians.

Luna alleged, “Representative Dan Goldman, who actually sits with me on House Oversight as a Democrat, not only prepared Cohen for the testimony today, but he’s also a client of the judge’s daughter at the same firm that fundraises for Kamala Harris. So when I say this is incestual, and when I say that we are exposing them for everything that they are, which is a complete sham, I mean it.”

Trump had previously called attention to Loren Merchan’s connections with Democrats, noting her role as president of Authentic Campaigns, a digital marketing and fundraising agency working with top Democrats, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek. According to CNN, Merchan was also the director of digital persuasion for Harris during her 2020 presidential campaign, although her LinkedIn page has since been made private.

Following his comments about Merchan’s daughter, Trump was subjected to a gag order preventing him from making public statements about witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, jurors, and their families. Trump has since violated this order multiple times, resulting in fines and threats of jail time.
