Trump's Lawsuit Against Judge Threatens to Delay N.Y. Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the judge overseeing the New York attorney general's civil fraud case against him, accusing the judge of ignoring an earlier appeals court decision that Trump's lawyers believe should limit the case. The lawsuit could potentially delay the upcoming trial, which is scheduled to begin on October 2. Trump has been seeking to delay the trial and has previously challenged judges presiding over his legal proceedings. The civil trial stems from a lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who accused Trump and his family of fraudulently overvaluing their assets. The appeals court provisionally paused the trial to consider Trump's action against the judge.
