Trump Again Calls For Hush Money Judge To Recuse Himself After Gag Order Expanded

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former President Donald Trump once again called for the judge overseeing his hush money case in New York to recuse himself, his latest attempt to see the case delayed indefinitely rather than go to trial. The former president attacked Merchan and his daughter, Loren Merchan, in recent days on social media to the point the judge expanded a limited gag order against Trump over the course of the case. “Authentic and Your Honor’s daughter are making money by supporting the creation and dissemination of campaign advocacy for President Trump’s opponent, political rivals, and the Democratic Party.” “It can no longer be ignored that Authentic’s commercial interest are benefited by developments in this case that harm President Trump’s penal interests.” Prosecutors on the case rejected Trump’s claims in their own filing on Tuesday. Trump had argued late last year for Merchan’s removal, but the judge rejected the attempt and said his impartiality in the case could not “reasonably be questioned.” He added that the former president had “failed to demonstrate that there exists concrete, or even realistic reasons for recusal to be appropriate, much less required.” Merchan on Monday expanded his gag order against Trump after the former president took to Truth Social to attack his daughter in a series of increasingly pointed posts. The judge expanded the gag order just days later upon the urging of Bragg’s office, barring Trump from speaking about his family, the family of the district attorney, as well as his earlier order that blocked any public comments about jurors, court staff, witnesses or prosecutors.
