We’re a week out from jury selection in Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York. So expect this week to include rejections of desperate defense attempts to further delay the criminal case. One of those rejections will likely include Trump’s request that Judge Juan Merchan recuse himself. A clue that Trump will lose his recusal motion is that he has already lost it before.
But Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg cast it as another delay attempt that Merchan should reject, with his office writing that Trump’s “rewarmed arguments identify no new law or fact that calls into question this Court’s prior conclusion.” Merchan has shown that he isn’t up for entertaining Trump’s delay attempts or other shenanigans as the trial nears.
