Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s CFO, was found guilty of tax fraud in a trial presided over by Justice Juan Manuel Merchan in 2022. He’s been a judge for almost 16 years, yet this is the biggest case he’s ever seen.

The former president’s close ally, Steve Bannon, is facing criminal charges related to a foundation that was meant to assist build a wall along the US-Mexico border, and the case is being presided over by the same judge in New York County Supreme Court.

Mr. Trump tweeted on Friday, hours before his court date, claiming Judge Merchan “HATES ME.” Mr. Trump has refuted all allegations of misconduct in connection with hush money paid to a former pornstar.

Justice Merchan has been practicing law since he graduated from Hofstra University’s law school in 1994. After working for a while as an assistant district attorney in New York County, he moved to Nassau County in 1999 to take on the role of deputy assistant attorney general. Before being appointed to the bench in 2006 in Bronx County Family Court, he worked as an assistant attorney general in both Nassau and Suffolk counties.

In 2009, he was appointed to the position of justice on the New York County Supreme Court, where he has presided over numerous criminal cases.

“He’s a serious jurist, smart and even-tempered,” Manhattan defense attorney Ron Kuby told NBC News. “He’s not one of those judges who yells at lawyers and is characterized as a no-nonsense judge. But he’s always in control of the courtroom.”

Justice Merchan was emphatic last year that the allegations against the Trump Organization were not brought about for partisan reasons. The group’s attorney had claimed Mr. Weisselberg was being persecuted for his ties to the ex-president.

Ed Krassenstein posted a tweet to his official Twitter page on April 4 with the caption, “Former President Donald Trump is now attacking Judge Juan Merchan and his family and asking for the case to be moved to Staten Island which is majority Republican. First it was the DA, now it’s the judge, and next it will be the jury. Trump won’t ever just admit that…”

Such argument, Judge Merchan ruled, lacked any basis in law.

“I will not allow you in any way to bring up a selective prosecution claim or claim this is some sort of novel prosecution,” Merchan reportedly declared, per the CBS.
