Trump's Legal Team in Turmoil Over Manhattan Judge's Bias Allegations.
TL;DR
Experts say there is no legal basis to bar Manhattan Judge Merchan from presiding over Trump's case, despite Trump's claims of bias. While the appearance of bias persists, judges are randomly assigned to oversee grand juries and trials. Trump's defense team may bring a motion for Merchan to recuse himself, but it's unlikely to be successful. Merchan is experienced and has the confidence of his colleagues to run the case.
