"Trump's Ongoing Battle with Gag Orders and Judge Recusal in Hush Money Case"

Donald Trump filed a motion demanding Judge Juan Merchan recuse himself from the New York hush money case due to his daughter's work with a company that does political marketing for Democratic campaigns, despite a gag order against him. The motion tests the boundaries of the gag order, as it includes public criticism of the judge's daughter. Prosecutors have already stated that the political activities of a relative are not a basis to question a judge's impartiality. The trial is set to start on April 15, but could be delayed if the judge agrees to Trump's request to recuse himself.
