NEW YORK, May 17 (Reuters) - The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct has dismissed an ethics complaint against Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the hush money criminal case against former U.S. President Donald Trump, a spokesperson for the judge said.

"Justice Merchan said the complaint, from more than a year ago, was dismissed in July with a caution," spokesperson Al Baker of the state Office of Court Administration said this week in response to a Reuters inquiry.

Under commission rules, a caution may be taken into consideration in the event of any future misconduct.

The complaint stemmed from donations in 2020 which, according to the Federal Election Commission, were for $35 to the Democratic group ActBlue that included $15 earmarked for Biden for President and $10 each to Progressive Turnout Project and Stop Republicans. Reuters could not determine who made the complaint.

3. And when you get to the top you can support insurrection and still decide on the constitutional issues surrounding

Sedition and insurrection without accountability. I Fucking hate Samuel Alito with a passion. I’m pissed that I can feel this much hatred for him and Uncle Slappy. Shame on me.
