Trump's Legal Maneuvers in Hush Money Case Spark Controversy

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump is seeking a new judge just days before his hush-money criminal trial, alleging bias and a conflict of interest due to the judge's daughter being a Democratic political consultant. The judge has yet to rule on the request, which could potentially disrupt the trial schedule. The trial is set to begin on April 15 and is the first of Trump's four criminal cases scheduled to go to trial. The case centers on allegations that Trump falsified his company's records to hide payments to his former lawyer, who helped bury negative stories during his 2016 campaign.
