Laura Loomer Accuses Democrat Politician Who Told Trump to ‘Go Back to Court’ of Illicit Profiteering from Hush Money Trial
Laura Loomer, the conservative activist and internet personality who previously ran two failed Congressional campaigns on a platform emphasizing her critiques of Islam, has come forward with hot new allegations against U.S. congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, a new Jersey Democrat who admonished Trump to “go back to court” during his massive rally in the Garden State on Saturday.
The inciting incident for the controversy was Trump’s aforesaid event in the south New Jersey town of Wildwood: A blockbuster political gathering which Fox News claims drew as many as 100,000 attendees to a beach town with a permanent population of only 5,170, according to the most recent census. Making the event even more impressive is its setting in the deep-blue state of New Jersey, which Biden carried by nearly 16 percent in the 2020 Presidential election.
It was this rally which prompted Representative Sherrill, a Virginia-born Democrat who has represented New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District since 2019, to fire off her post on X—a post which Loomer claims may land the hostile Democrat politician in hot water due to a purported conflict of interest involving trial Judge Merchan and his daughter Loren’s consulting firm.
“Donald Trump, you’re not welcome in NJ,” Sherrill said, apparently contradicting the views of the tens of thousands of supporters assembled in Wildwood. “Because in the Garden State, we believe in democracy, we know that diversity is our strength, & we let women make their own healthcare decisions. Do us all a favor and go back to court.”

Laura Loomer quoted this post, conveying that, in Loomer’s view, Sherrill’s post amounts to an illegitimate and potentially illegal act of profiteering off a court case in which Sherrill is not a disinterested party.
“[Sherrill] who told President Trump to ‘go back to court’ in New York City (where he’s on trial under Judge Merchan) yesterday while he was having a MASSIVE rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, is a CLIENT of Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, who is the President of the Democrat Political Consulting firm ‘Authentic Campaigns,’” Loomer wrote in a post on X.

Loomer goes on to allege that such activities might be legally fraught, as they present the possibility of Judge Merchan’s daughter profiting from the trial—a potentially conflict of interest, in Loomer’s view.
“This is evidence of a Democrat elected official in Congress using President Trump’s trial under Judge Merchan as a form of social media content which directly financially benefits the Judge’s daughter since [Sherrill] is paying Loren Merchan for ‘digital consulting’, which includes social media management for the clients of Authentic Campaigns,” Loomer added.
“Over the last 9 months, [Sherrill] has paid Judge Merchan’s daughter’s company Authentic Campaigns over $216,793.98,” Loomer continued. “This is another example of yet ANOTHER conflict of interest and another reason why Judge Merchan should recuse himself from President Trump’s trial in NYC.”
Loomer then continues her attack, turning the tables on the Democrat by using their term “election interference” (often used to deride Trump) to describe Sherrill’s post.
“This is ELECTION INTERFERENCE of the highest order, and it’s being carried out via malicious and unconstitutional gag orders and shady high dollar payments to a Judge’s daughter under the guise of ‘political digital consulting’. It’s worth noting how large the payments are by elected Democrats to Authentic Campaigns for their ‘services’. These rates are considered to be EXTREMELY high for ‘digital consulting’ to a single vendor, and really reiterates the need for an independent [House Republican Conference] investigation into Authentic Campaigns and their bank records,” Loomer wrote.
Laura Loomer ends her tirade by broadening the targets of her attack, claiming that Biden’s re-election campaign, Representative Adam Schiff, and others are also implicated in this purported act of corruption.
“Donald Trump has been gagged and threatened with arrest by Judge Merchan, all while Judge Merchan’s daughter’s clients are using her father’s position as the NY judge overseeing Trump’s trial as a way to attack President Trump online, which then turns into payments for the judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan who bills this service as ‘digital consulting’ to her Democrat, anti-Trump clientele, which also includes the Biden-Harris campaign, the Democrat Senate Majority PAC, and [Representative Adam Schiff], among many other high profile Democrats,” she concluded.
