Representative Elise Stefanik has raised concerns over the assignment of Judge Juan Merchan to Donald Trump's hush money trial, suggesting potential misconduct in the selection process.
Stefanik, a New York Republican and a prominent figure in the GOP, has filed a complaint with the inspector general of the New York State Unified Court System.

The complaint calls for a thorough investigation into the assignment of Judge Merchan, questioning the integrity of the judicial selection process in high-profile cases.
This move by Stefanik underscores the political tensions surrounding the trial and the scrutiny of judicial assignments in politically sensitive cases.
