Trump trials: The hush money case judge is getting pretty tired of this.

Slate  

Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felony counts in the New York hush money case—but there’s a lengthy appeals process ahead. Legal filings were flying in the former president’s New York hush money case last week, with New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan denying the Trump team’s third request that Merchan recuse himself from the case. Trump’s Third Attempt to Remove His New York Judge Fails Justice Merchan is tired of Trump’s attempts to remove him from the hush money case, writing in a new motion that the “defendant’s arguments are nothing more than a repetition of stale and unsubstantiated claims.” Trump’s attorneys have tried to force Merchan to recuse himself because of his daughter, who served as president of a consulting firm that worked on Democratic campaigns. “Recusal is therefore not necessary, much less required.” Related From Slate Welp, Another Lawyer Just Flipped on Donald Trump And Trump Wants His Sentencing Delayed in the Hush Money Case The former president’s attorneys really do not want Trump to be sentenced on Sept. 18. In yet another attempt to frame standard court procedure as a witch hunt against Trump, his attorneys are claiming this will be “personally and politically prejudicial to President Trump and his family.” And on Monday, the Manhattan DA indicated he isn’t opposed to delaying Trump’s sentencing, since the former president’s attorneys admitted for the first time that they intend to appeal Merchan’s presidential immunity decision, and that he would defer to Merchan’s judgment on the matter.
