The Manhattan DA is urging Judge Juan Merchan to stick by his earlier rulings and dismiss Trump's motion for the judge's recusal.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is encouraging Judge Juan Merchan to deny Donald Trump's recusal request because of 'fatal defects' in the former president's legal argument.On Wednesday, Trump asked Merchan to recuse himself because of his daughter's work with Democratic candidates, including Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump's latest recusal motion, filed earlier this week, claims that Merchan's impartiality is compromised because his daughter works as a consultant for Democratic campaigns, including the vice president's. Bragg's office argues that it is an attempt to relitigate issues already settled by the court.Merchan previously asserted that his impartiality cannot reasonably be questioned based on his daughter's professional activities.
