NEW YORK (Reuters) – Donald Trump’s lawyers on Thursday again asked the judge overseeing the former U.S. president’s criminal trial on charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star to recuse himself, citing his daughter’s work for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Justice Juan Merchan has denied previous recusal requests by Trump’s lawyers. Harris is poised to become the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 5 election, in which Trump is the Republican nominee.
