                               Judge Juan Merchan poses for a picture in his chambers in New York


The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's financial decisions will begin hearing a jury in the former president's impeachment trial on Monday.


New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is an experienced lawyer who is no stranger to Trump's orbit. He presided over the tax evasion investigation of the Trump Organization, imprisoned former presidential neighbor Allen Weisselberg for his role in the scheme, and oversaw the demise of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's lies. But the former president's trial for allegedly falsifying business records while repaying money before the 2016 election will have a lasting impact on Mo Qian's long career in state courts.

All eyes will be on the judge who oversaw the first of four criminal cases filed against Trump by state and federal prosecutors last year. The Republican president has denied all accusations.

Mai Chang is described by observers as a "tough" judge, but fair no matter who is in front of her.

Here's what you need to know."Man of his word"

Trump's trial will likely be a publicity stunt, with police guarding the former president while he attends hearings, a process that is expected to last for a long time, weeks. Before the hearing began, Trump fanned the flames by posting his opinions about the judge on social media.

However, lawyers who appeared before him told CNN that Merchant does not support interruptions or delays in court and that they are known to control the court despite the many problems involved.

Nicholas Gravante, Weisselberg's defense attorney in the tax evasion case, said last year: "The Commercial Judge was very helpful, listened carefully and listened carefully to what I had to say."

"He explained his decision clearly, which helped me a lot in giving good advice to Mr. Weisselberg," said Gravant. "The Labor Judge is always a well-prepared, flexible and - most importantly in the Weisselberg case - a man of his word. He treated me and my colleagues with the utmost respect, even though he was in four open or private seats in the house. The Attorney General acts as a barrister and is headed by Mercian oversees cases.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet.

Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di

  Terrorist Attacks on Israel and Indian Solidarity with Israel as India also Suffers Islamic Terror                         Islamic terrorism is a global threat, and no country is immune. Israel and India are two countries that have been particularly hard hit by terrorist attacks. In recent years, there has been a growing solidarity between the two countries in the fight against terrorism. Israel is a small country in the Middle East that is surrounded by hostile neighbors.
