Legal experts told Insider on Friday that the political donations likely won't get New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan thrown off of Trump's case, but that it will "feed the Trump PR beast" and doesn't bode well for public perception.

In addition to the $15 earmarked for "Biden for President" on July 26, 2020, Merchan made two separate $10 donations the next day — one earmarked for the voter contact organization Progressive Turnout Project and the other for Stop Republicans, an "accountability campaign" of the Progressive Turnout Project, according to Federal Election Commission records.
