Judge Merchan removed from Steve Bannon's Trump wall fundraiser case
2024-06-26
[Washington Examiner] Judge Juan Merchan, who has presided over former President Donald Trump’s hush money case, has been removed from Trump ally Steve Bannon’s New York criminal trial relating to his "We Build the Wall" fundraising campaign.

A court statement from Judge Ellen Biben said Merchan is no longer on the case because of a conflicting schedule. "Merchan ... who is assigned to this matter, is engaged to preside over a six-defendant trial that is scheduled to commence on 09/16/24 and expected to last at least three months," she wrote, while Bannon’s trial is set to begin on Sept. 23.

The statement ends by saying Judge April Newbauer will preside over Bannon’s case and "follow up with the parties to schedule a status conference and for any further communication."
