Key Trump ally Mike Davis has filed a complaint against US District Judge Reggie Walton for alleged judicial misconduct. Davis accused Walton of violating the Code of Conduct for United States Judges by appearing on CNN and criticizing former president Donald Trump.
Walton’s criticism of Trump’s attacks on Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan raised eyebrows, with Davis disputing the notion that Trump had threatened Merchan and instead arguing that the former president was highlighting potential bias.
Davis expressed concern that Walton’s comments could influence the upcoming “hush money” case involving Trump, scheduled to begin on April 15, by poisoning the jury pool. He stressed the importance of judges refraining from making political statements outside the courtroom and called for Walton to be reprimanded.
In a related development, Trump shared a story about Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Merchan, whose clients allegedly profited from the criminal case against the former president. Judge Merchan has since extended a gag order barring Trump from disparaging witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and now family members of the judge.
The ongoing dispute between Davis and Walton highlights the tensions between political figures and the judiciary, raising questions about the boundaries of judicial conduct and the potential impact on high-profile legal cases involving public figures.
