"Trump's Latest Effort to Replace Judge in Hush Money Case Raises Concerns"

Former President Donald Trump demands a new judge just days before his hush-money criminal trial, citing bias and conflict of interest due to the judge's daughter being a Democratic political consultant. The trial is set to begin on April 15, and if the judge were to step aside, it would disrupt the trial schedule. Trump's lawyers also attempted to force NBC to provide materials related to its recent documentary about Stormy Daniels, a key prosecution witness, but the judge blocked the subpoena. Trump's attacks on the judge and his daughter have led to an expanded gag order, and his lawyers argue that circumstances have changed with Trump's rematch against President Joe Biden, and Democrats seeking to capitalize on Trump's legal troubles with fundraising emails.
