Within hours of his historic arraignment this spring, Donald Trump fixed his ire on the judge, complaining that he’s “a Trump hating-judge' with a family full of “Trump haters.”
fixed his ire on the judge, complaining that he’s “a Trump-hating judge" with a family full of “Trump haters.”
In the New York case, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges relate to hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign to bury allegations that Trump had extramarital sexual encounters. He has denied wrongdoing. The decision on recusal is up to Merchan himself, who previously rejected such a request when Trump’s company was on trial. Trump’s lawyers could be also making a play to raise the issue on appeal if he's convicted. Along with their motion, Trump’s lawyers submitted 42 pages of what that say is evidence of Merchan’s political bias.to federal court, which would also remove Merchan from the judicial equation. A federal judge has scheduled a June 27 hearing on that request.
Trump’s recusal motion expands on the criticism he's lobbed at Merchan and his family in statements and on his Truth Social platform. Among Trump’s other criticisms, he's claimed Merchan “railroaded” ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg into a guilty plea last summer and acted “viciously” in presiding over the company’s trial, which ended in a tax fraud conviction last December.
