TL;DR Summary

Attorney Bennett Gershman argues that Donald Trump's argument to recuse Judge Juan Merchan in his New York hush money case is too broad and could disqualify every judge in America, including Supreme Court justices, based on familial connections and affiliations. Trump has sought to have Merchan removed from the case, alleging conflicts of interest due to Merchan's daughter's political affiliations. However, prosecutors have stated that there are no changed circumstances warranting revisiting the issue, and Gershman has criticized Trump's argument as baseless and involving irresponsible insinuation. Meanwhile, a gag order has been expanded on Trump, barring him from making statements about the families of the judge and the prosecutor, with jury selection for the hush money case scheduled to begin on April 15.
