The Biden-donor judge who oversaw the show trial conviction of former President Donald Trump agreed to delay proceedings.
Juan Merchan, the Biden-donor judge who oversaw the show trial conviction of former President Donald Trump in the Manhattan lawfare case agreed to delay proceedings until after the left-wing Manhattan district attorney’s office decides how to proceed now that Trump is president-elect.
Matthew Colangelo, who was formerly the No. 3 in President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice but was then hired to help “jump-start” the lawfare trial against Trump, said in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Sunday that his team needed more time to determine how to proceed after Trump’s electoral landslide.
“The People agree that these are unprecedented circumstances and that the arguments raised by defense counsel in correspondence to the People on Friday require careful consideration to ensure that any further steps in this proceeding appropriately balance the competing interests of (1) a jury verdict of guilt following trial that has the presumption of regularity; and (2) the Office of the President.
