Glad to see that Judge Merchan, unlike Judge Cannon, is running a fair trial. He has ruled for Trump at times, but this one he did not. He ruled against 'whataboutism.'
The judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial has refused the former president's request for documents about whether adult film star Stormy Daniels had committed "extortion" or "larceny" and whether Trump was a "victim of blackmail."
Trump's lawyers were seeking a large volume of documents from prosecutors, which Judge Juan Merchan described as an "improper fishing expedition."
