Trump Lawyers Push for Judge's Recusal

Donald Trump's legal team has renewed its request for Justice Juan Merchan to recuse himself from the former president's criminal trial. The request cites conflicts of interest due to Merchan's daughter working for Vice President Kamala Harris, a potential Democratic nominee in the upcoming election.

Donald Trump's lawyers on Thursday renewed their call for Justice Juan Merchan to step down from overseeing the former president's criminal trial. The legal team cited a potential conflict of interest, pointing to Merchan's daughter's employment with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Justice Merchan has previously dismissed similar recusal requests from Trump's defense team.

As the November 5 election approaches, where Trump is the Republican nominee, Harris is expected to be the Democratic contender.
