Former President Trump's lawyers are trying to use the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling to get the conviction in his hush money case thrown out. Also, the judge in Trump's New York civil fraud case says he will not recuse himself over 'nothingburger' encounter.
Judge Juan Merchan again declined to recuse himself from Donald Trump’s New York criminal case, rejecting the former president’s third attempt to get rid of the presiding judge in his so-called hush money case. Refusing to step aside in a decision dated Tuesday, Merchan called the GOP presidential nominee's arguments 'nothing more than a repetition of stale and unsubstantiated claims.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office called the defense move “a vexatious and frivolous attempt to relitigate an issue that was twice addressed by this Court in orders that the First Department then refused to disturb,” referring to the New York state appeals court.
