Judge Juan Merchan has denied the motion for recusal in the case involving former President Donald Trump and has stated that he will not reconsider it until the appellate court makes a ruling. This decision comes after Trump's legal team requested the judge to recuse himself from the case.
Merchan expressed that the court believes Trump is relying on a 'series of inferences, innuendos, and unsupported speculation' to support his claims for recusal. The judge's remarks indicate that he finds Trump's arguments lacking in substantial evidence to warrant his removal from the case.
