"Trump's Legal Team Continues Battle to Delay Impending Criminal Trial"

Donald Trump's lawyers are making their third legal challenge in three days regarding his impending criminal trial in New York, this time invoking Article 78 to seek relief from allegedly unlawful state or local government action, specifically Judge Juan Merchan's refusal to step aside from presiding over the case due to his daughter's employment at a political firm that did work for President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign. The trial is scheduled to begin Monday, and a hearing on the challenge was expected to take place later Wednesday.
