Judge Rejects Trump's Latest Demand to Step Aside from Hush Money Criminal Case
ai generated text
Judge Juan Merchan has denied a request from Donald Trump's lawyers to recuse himself from the case involving hush money paid to a porn star, specifically Stormy Daniels. This is the third time Merchan has rejected such a request, with Trump's lawyers arguing that Merchan's daughter's work as a political consultant poses a conflict of interest. Merchan is scheduled to sentence Trump on September 18, following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to the payment to Daniels.
The Highly Conflicted Judge should have long ago recused himself from this case.
With these fundamental principles in mind, this Court now reiterates for the third time, that which should already be clear – innuendo and mischaracterisations do not a conflict create.
