Direct relations edges listed below only, retrieved 2026-08-25. No officer HIT. Honig / Cannon / Loomer rows are not drawn. Emphasis is the compiler’s.
Juan Merchan is a relations subject with no officer HIT. The stored edges are the 2024 Trump trial, the Weisselberg and Bannon cases, three appointment lines, a $15 donation to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, and an ethics complaint filed by Elise Stefanik. That is the graph.
The chart below is only the stored edges. A line is not a crime. A board seat is not an invented affiliation. Opinion is in the marked band at the bottom.

What this is not
It is not a finding that Juan Merchan committed a crime. A $15 donation is a $15 donation. An ethics complaint is not a conviction. A trial assignment is not proof of a plot.
Stored edges not drawn: critiqued by Elie Honig; contrasted with Aileen Cannon; Laura Loomer family-misinformation row. Those omissions are scope.
It is not a White House product. It is not a Method page.
