Former Pres. Trump has a history of 'baselessly accusing' judges of bias, prosecutors say in response to Trump's effort to get the judge in his criminal trial to step down.
Trump is arguing that the judge is biased because his daughter works for a company aligned with Democrats."Recusal would facilitate an apparent effort by defendant to select his own judge and would encourage other litigants to adopt the same approach," prosecutors said in their court filing Tuesday. "The motion to recuse should be denied."Andrew Harnik/AP
The defense has argued that the judge's daughter would have a financial stake in the outcome of the case and the rulings her father makes -- but prosecutors said that's insufficient to warrant his stepping aside. "Recusal is required only where there exists a direct, personal, substantial or pecuniary interest in reaching a particular conclusion," prosecutors said. "There must be concrete proof of such a direct interest; speculative claims of potential bias are insufficient to warrant recusal."
