Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who will eventually sentence former President Donald Trump as the result of his hush money conviction, has been snagged in a complaint alleging he violated ethics rules around his position.

The complaint, filed by Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), alleges Trump’s conviction should be dismissed based on the fact that Merchan’s adult daughter is a Democratic consultant. Merchan, she writes, should be reprimanded “for his illegal conflict of interest in the sham Manhattan trial against President Trump,” alleging the Harris campaign has a “newly active financial relationship,” according to Fox News. She called on the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct to launch a “fresh inquiry concerning Justice Merchan’s conflict and take any appropriate action resulting from it.”
