Trump's last-ditch push to derail hush money case fails

Donald Trump lost another appeal Thursday in his ongoing hush money trial in Manhattan criminal court, according to a new report.

Trump's demand that Justice Juan Merchan be removed from overseeing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case was denied, ABC News reported Thursday. It comes just days before the jury is expected to start deliberations.

Trump stands accused of 34 felony counts involving the falsification of business records involving a hush money scheme to conceal an alleged affair.
