Donald Trump loses third bid for judge to step aside in hush money case: 'Defendant has provided nothing new…'

Hindustan Times  

A New York judge declined for a third time to step aside from the case in which Donald Trump was convicted of charges involving hush money paid to a porn star, dismissing the former U.S. president's claim of conflict of interest related to political consultancy work by the judge's daughter. Trump was found guilty by a jury on May 30 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for having covered up former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen's $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to avert a sex scandal before the 2016 U.S. election. Ahead of the trial, Trump wrote on social media that Merchan's daughter "makes money by working to 'Get Trump,'" comments that in part contributed to Merchan's decision to expand a gag order to bar the former president from commenting publicly about family members of court staff or prosecutors. Trump's lawyers separately have asked the judge to throw out his conviction in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's July ruling giving former presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts taken in office.
