NEW YORK — US President Joe Biden sent money to the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money trial in an effort to silence the judge from revealing payments he received from the Biden campaign, a new explosive report revealed.
CNN reported on Tuesday (April 23) that an investigation by a group of journalists revealed a number of wire transfers to New York state Judge Juan Merchan from the Biden campaign, totaling nearly $100,000.
The payments were tagged with the comment, “Here is more money so you better shut your face about the other money”.
Logs of phone calls and texts also revealed Merchan received at least one cash payment, coordinated by a low-level Biden campaign member.
The revelations undoubtedly will deal a huge blow to the Biden campaign and perceptions that the US president and his allies are orchestrating the legal woes against Trump in order to win the 2024 presidential election.
It was unclear how much money Merchan had been paid initially, however social media posts show him spending lavishly during a recent vacation in Belize.
