Judge Juan Merchan Denies Trump's Third Recusal Request in Hush Money Case, Sentencing Next Month
Aug 14, 2024, 01:16 PM
A New York judge, Juan Merchan, has denied Donald Trump's third request for recusal from the hush money case, where the former president was convicted of charges involving payments to a porn star. Trump's legal team argued that Merchan should step aside due to alleged conflicts of interest, including minor political donations and his daughter's work for Democrats. However, the judge dismissed these claims in a scathing order, stating that they did not constitute a substantial bias. The case is moving forward towards a key ruling and potential sentencing next month.
