Trump loses third bid for judge to step aside in hush money case

Live Mint  

US Presidential candidate Donald Trump has lost a third bid to oust the judge for his New York hush money criminal case. The organisation had counted Democratic election campaigns among its clients — including the current Vice President's unsuccessful bid to secure the 2020 nomination. Trump was found guilty by a Manhattan jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to a porn star before the 2016 election. Trump however denies wrongdoing and claims without evidence that the case — along with three other criminal prosecutions — is part of a Democratic “witch hunt” to keep him from regaining the White House.
