Merchan called the arguments a 'repetition of stale and unsubstantiated claims.'
Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump departs after speaking on a panel of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, July 31, 2024.
Earlier this month, Trump's lawyers attempted to argue that Vice President Kamala Harris' position as the Democratic nominee for president created afor Merchan based on the judge's daughter's work as a political consultant, rehashing an argument that Merchan denied twice in the past.
"Defendant has provided nothing new for this Court to consider," Merchan wrote. "Counsel has merely repeated arguments that have already been denied by this and higher courts. Defense Counsel's reliance, and apparent citation to his own prior affirmation, rife with inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims, is unavailing."
Merchan also criticized defense attorneys for raising issues with the remaining provisions of the case's limited gag order, which earlier this monthRepublican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump departs after speaking on a panel of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, July 31, 2024."It is therefore difficult to rationalize how Defense Counsel can, in good faith, claim the Order is unconstitutional," Merchan wrote.
With the recusal motion denied, Merchan is expected to issue a decision next month on Trump's motion to have the case thrown out based on the U.S. Supreme Court's recent presidential immunity ruling. In alast month, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts taken while in office.
