Justice Juan Merchan began by disposing of Donald Trump’s latest motion to recuse him from the case, saying the former president’s claims of bias or impartiality relied on “innuendo and unsupported speculation.”
“To say these claims are attenuated is an understatement,” Merchan said.
Trump had argued that Merchan’s comments to the press about the justice system generally, his opinion that politicians using Twitter is “unprofessional,” a Tweet critical of Trump that was falsely attributed to his daughter, and his daughter’s work for a consulting firm that has Democratic clients rendered the judge incapable of being fair.
This was Trump’s second failed bid to recuse Merchan.
Why do they keep making trump run for president, he looks so tired.
I keep seeing this sentiment that someone is making Trump run instead of his own narcissism making it impossible for him not to.
His broke bitch ass is going to end up in jail or Epsteined if he doesn’t get elected.
Why, did he rob a liquor store, too? He’s going to federal prison, not jail.
Many people use jail and prison synonymously.
prison: a building where criminals are kept as a punishment
jail: a place where criminals are kept to punish them for their crimes
