TL;DR

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump have filed a motion seeking to have Judge Juan Merchan recuse himself from the Manhattan criminal case against Trump, accusing him of having conflicts. The motion alleges that Merchan has "significant conflicts" and seeks to have him step aside in the case. Trump's lawyers raised the fact that Merchan presided over the criminal case against the Trump Organization and referenced Merchan's daughter's employment with a political firm that worked for President Joe Biden's presidential campaign. The criminal trial has been set for March 2024.
