Trump's Outbursts and Complaints Dominate Hush-Money Trial
Former President Donald Trump raged against New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan before entering court for the fourth day of his Manhattan criminal trial, demanding the removal of a gag order and criticizing the judge's alleged conflict of interest. Trump's legal team previously filed a motion to have Merchan recused from the case, citing the judge's daughter's alleged ties to high-level Democratic politicians. The trial has seen disputes over jurors, with 12 sworn in and five alternate seats yet to be filled. Merchan seemed confident that the remaining alternate jurors would be chosen on Friday, and set a trial date to hear arguments for a potential gag order violation by Trump.
