GOP Chair Calls for Recusal of Hush-Money Judge Amid Trump's Attacks

House GOP chair Elise Stefanik demands New York City judge Juan Merchan recuse himself from former President Trump's hush-money trial, alleging judicial bias due to the judge's political donations and his daughter's ties to Democratic political consulting. The judge recently expanded a gag order against Trump after he criticized the judge's daughter on social media. Trump's lawyers plan to seek the judge's recusal, citing new evidence. The case involves allegations that Trump falsely logged payments to his former lawyer as legal fees to cover up negative stories during the 2016 campaign.
