"Trump's Request for Mistrial in Civil Fraud Case Meets Resistance"

Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a mistrial in a civil fraud case against his family real estate company, citing bias from the judge overseeing the case. They argue that the judge's conduct and that of his law clerk showed bias against the defendants. Trump's lawyers claim that the judge posted links to news articles disparaging Trump and gave his law clerk too much participation in the case. However, it is unlikely that a mistrial will be declared, given the judge's previous fraud findings and defense of his law clerk's conduct. The case accuses Trump of inflating the value of his assets, and a ruling against him could result in the loss of control over some of his properties. Trump has pleaded not guilty to four criminal indictments, including charges related to overturning the 2020 election results.
