New York's top judge recuses himself from Trump's gag order case

Raw Story  

The chief judge on New York’s highest court has recused himself from overseeing Donald Trump’s attempt to have a gag order overturned in his hush money trial New York’s Westchester Journal News reported Friday that Chief Judge Rowan Wilson dropped out of the case, saying that Justice Juan Merchan was being represented by the Office of Court Administration, which Wilson oversees. Usually judges in the state who are the subject of lawsuits are represented by the New York Attorney General’s Office, the Journal News reported. “For reasons I don’t know, the Attorney General didn’t represent Justice Merchan, and instead, then, a lawyer within the Office of Court Administration represented him,” Wilson said. “That didn’t seem appropriate to me to remain on that case.” He said it was “entirely my decision.” On Tuesday, the Court of Appeals in New York rejected Trump’s attempt to appeal the gag.
