California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, a top client of Trump Trial Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter Loren Merchan, immediately began trying to raise money off of the guilty verdict against the former president.
A Trump campaign official posted Schiff’s campaign email sent after the verdict came down Tuesday.

As previously reported by the New York Post, Merchan’s daughter is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm whose clients include Schiff.
Merchan had refused to recuse himself, despite his daughter’s work and political affiliation. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told the Post in a statement back in March:
Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge’s daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out.
"Why was a Judge whose family has gotten rich off of Democrat Party fundraising allowed to preside over this thing in the first place?…We can not just sit on our hands…We have to be willing to fight back…We should be subpoenaing Judge Merchan and his daughter." – @JDVance1 pic.twitter.com/gvtKH1YRiG
