"Trump's Legal Maneuvers Challenged Amid Outbursts Against Judge and Family"

Donald Trump faced setbacks in his legal battles as judges refused his attempts to delay or dismiss cases, leading to a backlash from the former president who attacked a judge's daughter on social media. The judge overseeing Trump's criminal trial in New York expanded a gag order, prompting Trump to motion for the judge's recusal, citing a conflict of interest related to the judge's daughter's work. Another judge rejected Trump's attempt to dismiss a case alleging mishandling of classified documents, setting the stage for a clash with the Department of Justice. Trump has sought to delay his prosecutions ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
