Gee, no bias there. /sarc
He must recuse himself immediately.
I don’t see the issue. Does a daughter tell a parent who to vote for? I’m not of the same political stripe with anyone in my family.
Now a spouse would be a different thing.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan should step away from the case. He won’t, but he should. Nothing bad will happen to him for refusing to.
From Wikipedia:
Vance stepped up his state criminal investigation in February 2021, after the US Supreme Court authorized Trump’s accountants to turn over Trump’s personal and business tax records to him. Vance’s office then reportedly focused its investigation on Weisselberg, as well as on Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, allegedly with the goal of pressuring Weisselberg to turn state’s evidence and testify against his employer. The New York Times reported that investigators had also asked at least one witness about Weisselberg’s sons—Barry, who had managed Wollman Rink, and Jack, who works at Ladder Capital, a Trump Organization lender. By March 2021, prosecutors were examining financial records of Weisselberg and his family members. His former daughter-in-law Jen Weisselberg, who was married to Barry Weisselberg from 2004 until 2018, released to the Manhattan DA numerous documents that revealed how some Trump employees received compensation in real estate and other items.
CNN reported in May 2021 that the New York State Attorney General had opened a criminal tax investigation into Weisselberg months earlier. The investigation was pursued by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. In June, a grand jury heard evidence against him. Weisselberg surrendered to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office in New York City on July 1, 2021, hours before the grand jury’s indictments against him and the Trump Organization were unsealed. Weisselberg was charged with 15 felony counts for evading $344,745 in taxes over 15 years. He initially pleaded not guilty, but on August 18, 2022, he pleaded guilty to all 15 counts of grand larceny, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. As part of the guilty plea deal, he agreed to testify against The Trump Organization at trial and to pay “almost $2 million in back taxes, interest and penalties and waive any right to appeal.”
In November 2022, Weisselberg testified at the Trump Organization’s tax fraud trial, stating that the real estate company cleaned up its tax practices in anticipation of additional scrutiny after Trump entered the White House and left his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, in control. Weisselberg also testified that during the cleanup, Trump’s sons knew the company paid executives’ personal expenses that were not reported as income, and provided bonuses as if they were independent contractors.
On January 10, 2023, Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in the infirmary unit of Rikers Island with a projected release date of 19 April 2023.
“n 1978, Weisselberg purchased a modest ranch-style house in Wantagh, New York, a suburban hamlet in Long Island’s Nassau County. This would remain his primary residence until 2013, when he and his wife, Hilary, sold the property for $468,000 and “moved into a high floor” of a luxury apartment building in the Trump Organization’s Riverside South development on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.”
