Trump makes new push for hush money judge recusal, citing Harris 

Lawyers for former President Trump have again asked the New York judge who oversaw Trump’s recent criminal trial to recuse himself over his daughter’s job consulting for prominent Democrats – this time, citing her work for Vice President Harris, his likely opponent in November.

Judge Juan Merchan previously has rejected Trump’s recusal demands, but Trump is re-upping his request with Harris now becoming the likely Democratic nominee after President Biden dropped out of the race.
