‘Shockingly Unconstitutional… Working with Congress… Only the Beginning,’ Kash Patel Says [WATCH]

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second inauguration on January 20, allegations of politically motivated lawfare continue to dominate headlines.

Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the Manhattan business records fraud case against Trump, has come under scrutiny following his sentencing decision last Friday.

During an appearance on Fox News, Trump FBI Director nominee Kash Patel criticized Merchan and revealed plans to investigate both the judge and his family.

Speaking with host Steve Hilton, Patel alleged that Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, played a significant role in what he described as politically motivated legal actions against Trump.

Patel announced that he and congressional allies plan to subpoena Loren Merchan’s company, which reportedly earned approximately $15 million during the trial.

According to Patel, holding individuals accountable for their involvement in lawfare is a top priority for the incoming administration. “We will absolutely include Loren Merchan in our investigations,” Patel stated during the broadcast.

The segment also featured Trump’s Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, who appeared to be closely listening to Patel’s comments.

Observers noted that the legal team Trump is assembling appears unified and ready to take swift action upon taking office.

As reported by RedState and other outlets, Trump’s administration is set to hit the ground running.

Sources close to the president-elect indicate that he plans to issue over 100 executive orders on his first day in office.

These orders will focus on key areas such as border security and energy independence, seeking to reverse many of the Biden administration’s policies.

Senate Republicans have also provided insight into Trump’s recent meetings, which reportedly included discussions on advancing his legislative priorities and rebuilding relationships with international allies.

Notably, Trump has made progress in fostering stronger ties with Denmark and Greenland, signaling a commitment to expanding America’s global influence.

The allegations against Judge Merchan and his daughter add another layer of controversy to Trump’s ongoing legal battles.

Critics have long viewed the Manhattan business records case as a politically motivated attack orchestrated by left-leaning elements within the justice system.

Patel’s remarks on Fox News signal the administration’s intent to address these concerns head-on.

He emphasized that the investigation into Loren Merchan’s company is just one aspect of a broader effort to hold individuals accountable for using the legal system as a weapon against political opponents.

The cohesive approach of Trump’s incoming administration has been noted by political analysts, with many pointing to the unity among his key appointees as a sign of readiness.

Patel’s assertive stance, combined with Bondi’s legal expertise, reflects a team prepared to tackle legal and policy challenges from the outset.

As Trump’s inauguration approaches, his administration appears focused on implementing an ambitious agenda while addressing the fallout from years of political and legal conflict.

Whether these efforts will succeed in reshaping the political landscape remains to be seen, but the commitment to action is unmistakable.
