A New York judge has denied a motion for his recusal from former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal case.
In seeking Judge Juan Merchan's recusal, attorneys for Trump cited Merchan's involvement in a 2022 trial in which Trump's company was convicted of crimes. They also cited work done by Merchan's daughter for a Democratic consulting firm and demanded he explain donations totaling $35 to Democratic causes during the 2020 election cycle.
"The speculative and hypothetical scenarios offered by [Trump] fall well short of the legal standard," Merchan wrote, in response to the claim that his daughter's employment for a company called Authentic Campaigns means she"stands to financially benefit from decisions this court makes in this case."
Trump's attorneys had also sought a different judge by removing the case to federal court — arguing the allegations in the case involved Trump's service as president. A federal judge remanded the case to state court on July 19. "Trump has failed to show that the conduct charged by the indictment is for or relating to any act performed by or for the President under color of the official acts of a President," Hellerstein wrote."Trump also has failed to show that he has a colorable federal defense to the indictment."
