they only reason this is getting any press is the indirect relationship he has with Donald Trump, note Donald Trump's name in the headline.

He served at the chair of the 2016 Donald Trump campaign in Campbell County. During Trump’s presidential run in 2016, Judge Nolan was serving as the chair of his campaign.

in Campbell county a county with a population under 100,000. there are 3,144 counties in the US.

Not that this guy is not a scumbag or that this is not a newsworthy story of a corrupt judge its just that the national media is pushing this because they can say Donald Trump over and over and make claims like he was "the chair of his campaign". At most they attended the same event once, that is the extent of their relationship. This is just another installment in the "Trump is a pervert/ white supremacist/ madman" guilt by association narrative.
