"Trump's Latest Move to Oust Judge in Hush Money Case Sparks Controversy"
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has made a second attempt to remove Judge Juan Merchan from his Manhattan hush-money case, alleging a conflict of interest due to the judge's daughter's employment at a political consulting firm. Despite Trump's efforts to delay the trial and subpoena NBCUniversal over a Stormy Daniels documentary, Judge Merchan has denied these requests, stating that they lack merit and are overly broad. Trump's trial is set to begin on April 15, and he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records.
