Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Judge Juan Mershon
0:05
of the Donald Trump Stormy Daniels hush money trial, the one being prosecuted by Alvin Bragg
0:11
He just got blindsided with some tragic legal news. Before we get started, please make sure
0:18
you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help
0:23
our channel continue to grow. If you've been following the trial at all, and I'm certain
0:28
you have if you're an American with a television set, or the internet for that matter, you know
0:34
Judge Juan Mershon has been, well, deeply criticized by Trump and Republicans because he seems very
0:43
conflicted in this case. And you know that his daughter, Lauren Mershon, works for a company
0:51
that does campaign work for Democrats, makes them millions of dollars. Now those Democrats
0:58
they campaign off the Trump trial. Ergo, the more legal trouble that Donald Trump is in, well, the
1:05
better their campaigns go and the more money the judge's daughter makes. Are you starting to see
1:09
the conflict of interest issue here, if you haven't already? Okay, well now there's been an ethics
1:18
complaint filed against the judge. And this is big, this is huge for a judge. It could take him off the
1:23
case. It could put this entire case in jeopardy. And if it doesn't take him off the case, well, it's
1:29
certainly going to be used on appeal. We're talking about a situation that should have never happened
1:34
to begin with. He should have recused from day one, knowing what his daughter does for a living
1:40
This is a first degree, not a six degrees of separation. This is a first degree of separation
1:46
judge to daughter. There's no getting around that as much as the judge tries to pretend he can be
1:54
fair. I want you to watch this because they're going to talk all about the ethics complaint
1:59
and who filed it. When you're done watching this, please leave a comment and of course
2:04
like, share and subscribe. The New York State Supreme Court, Brian. Harris, well, speaking of Judge Mershon, basically, you know, the House Republican
2:14
conference chair, Elise Stefanik has formally filed an ethics complaint with the New York State
2:19
Commission on Judiciary Conduct. And that complaint alleges that Judge Juan Mershon
2:25
should recuse himself because he has a conflict of interest because his daughter
2:29
serves as president of a group that represents Democratic Party politicians and political action
2:35
committees. That same commission, by the way, dismissed a prior complaint against Judge Mershon
2:41
for donating $35 to Democrats. Nonetheless, New York Congresswoman Stefanik, a possible Trump VP
2:47
pick, argues that a guilty verdict in this case under Judge Mershon will lead to millions more
2:53
fundraising dollars for Democrats benefiting Mershon's daughter's organization. The complaint reads in part, given Judge Mershon's daughter's clientele and the vast sums of money that these
3:04
individuals have raised and will continue to raise off of President Trump's charges
3:08
Judge Mershon's daughter stands to benefit the more legally imperiled President Trump is
3:13
Trump said yesterday Judge Mershon is, quote, complicated and conflicted. It should be dismissed before you even have a verdict, but we have objections extremely
3:28
let's say complicated, but let's also say conflicted. It's a first-rate situation. Nobody's ever said anything quite like it
3:38
Now, both sides argued in front of Judge Mershon yesterday about what should or should not
