On Saturday, former President Donald Trump called for the removal of Judge Juan Merchan from his case in Manhattan for allegedly falsifying documents to pay money to porn star Stormy Daniels.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said, “This scam ‘rushed’ trial taking place in a 95% democrat area is a planned and coordinated witch hunt that could have been brought 8 years ago, but everybody passed.”
“Instead they waited and brought it right in the middle of my presidential campaign against the worst and most incompetent president ever, crooked Joe Biden,” the former president continued. “It is being presided over by possibly the most conflicted judge in judicial history, who must be removed from this hoax immediately.”
“I did nothing wrong!” he added.
On Friday, the 12-person jury was finalized for the trial against the former president with the last of the alternates selected. Of those selected to serve on the jury seven of them were men, and five were women and their careers included a retiree, lawyers, teachers, engineers, and more.
Prior to the court session Friday, Trump called the trial “rigged.” He said, “As you know, I’ve been saying for a long while this is a rigged trial, it’s coming from the White House.”
