Judge Merchan Denies Trump’s Recusal Request Again

Judge Juan Merchan, who’s got a reputation for being a little too cozy with the far-left, gave Trump’s recusal request the cold shoulder.

For the third time!

This played out on Tuesday regarding the “hush money” saga.

Earlier this year, Trump was hit with 34 felony convictions over allegations that he paid off Stephanie Clifford.

While it didn’t hold water, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is saying Trump pulled a fast one.

The accusations never seem to stop flying at Trump.

With Merchan sticking around, this legal rollercoaster isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Buckle up.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Far-left judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case on Tuesday.

The judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday.

Earlier this year Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

To make things worse, the hush money case was assigned to far-left conflicted judge Juan Merchan.

President Trump’s lawyers repeatedly demanded Merchan recuse himself over conflicts of interest involving his daughter Loren Merchan.

Loren Merchan’s political firm made tens of millions of dollars off of her father’s case against Trump.

Merchan will also issue a ruling on presidential immunity on September 16, two days before Trump’s sentencing.
