Trump's Mistrial Request in NY Civil Fraud Case Cites Judge's Alleged Bias

Former President Donald Trump has requested a mistrial in a New York civil fraud case, citing the judge's "demonstrable bias" and a law clerk's "co-judging." Trump and several co-defendants are fighting a lawsuit by the state Attorney General seeking penalties and the revocation of Trump's ability to conduct business in the state. The defense alleges that the judge allowed the law clerk to contribute to Democratic causes and gave her "unprecedented status and input" in the proceedings. The defense argues that only a mistrial can salvage the rule of law in this case.
