Former president's bid to recuse Judge Juan Merchan in hush money case could apply to any judge in America,' says lawyer.
Former president Donald Trump's recent argument to recuse Judge Juan Merchan in his New York hush money case would mean U.S. Supreme Court justices and every judge in America could be disqualified, according to attorney Bennett Gershman.Trump argues Merchan should be removed over accusations of conflicts of interest and has centered his argument for recusal on Merchan's daughter, Loren, who works at a Democratic political consulting firm.
However, prosecutors wrote on Tuesday that Trump 'has identified no changed circumstances that warrant revisiting' a New York judicial ethics board review on the former president's request in August 2023, during which the state advisory committee determined that Merchan's impartiality could not 'reasonably be questioned' based on his daughter's political interests.
