Judge Lewis Kaplan's Family Bias Against President Trump Exposed
Merrill's partner, Chris Sellers, has made numerous posts on social media that are critical of President Trump. In one post, Sellers accused Trump of being a "dictator".
In a recent investigation by journalist Laura Loomer, it was revealed that there may be potential bias within the immediate family of Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, the presiding judge in the E. Jean Carroll case against former President Donald Trump. Loomer's findings raise questions about the impartiality of the judge in this high-profile case.
The investigation uncovered that Judge Kaplan's daughter, Merrill Kaplan, is an associate professor at Ohio State University and has expressed strong opinions on various political issues. In one instance, she criticized Trump's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that the administration's actions were "unacceptable."
Additionally, Merrill's partner, Chris Sellers, has made numerous posts on social media that are critical of President Trump. In one post, Sellers accused Trump of being a "dictator" and questioned his mental fitness and grasp of reality. These posts suggest that Sellers holds strong anti-Trump sentiments.
While judges are expected to remain impartial and base their decisions on the facts and evidence presented in court, the potential bias within Judge Kaplan's family raises concerns about the fairness of the proceedings. It is important to note that the judge has not publicly expressed any bias or made any statements that would compromise his impartiality.
The E. Jean Carroll case, in which Carroll alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s, has garnered significant media attention and has become a politically charged issue. The potential bias within Judge Kaplan's family adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious case.
As the proceedings continue, it remains to be seen whether Judge Kaplan's family's views will have any impact on the outcome of the case. In the meantime, the investigation by Laura Loomer serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining impartiality in the legal system, especially in high-profile cases that can have far-reaching consequences.
