Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg separately urged Judge Juan Merchan to reject Donald Trump's latest attempt to remove the judge from the case.
Attorneys for Donald Trump filed a last-ditch appeal to change the venue of his upcoming criminal hush money trial and pause a gag order.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg separately urged Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trump's latest attempt to remove the judge from the case.
The appeal was filed using a legal mechanism that allows a person to directly challenge a court's actions, a source with direct knowledge told NBC News. Doing so allows Trump to contest the case before the trial has begun. Bragg slammed that bid as a bad-faith effort to delay the trial and sidestep a gag order barring Trump from speaking about the judge's daughter.
Trump's lawyers, in court filings Friday, argued that Authentic Campaigns, the Democratic consulting firm where Merchan's daughter works, stands to benefit from the hush money case by using it to raise money and promote an anti-Trump message.
