Will Scharf to Newsmax: N.Y. Judge Should Have Recused Himself

The judge overseeing the Trump case in New York should have recused himself due to conflicts of interest, Trump attorney Will Scharf told Newsmax Wednesday.

“We moved to have Judge Merchan recused off this case,” Scharf told “Eric Bolling The Balance.” “We think under New York law, recusal was absolutely required.”

However, since that motion was denied, there is no other way to challenge it until after the trial, and they plan to raise Merchan’s obvious biases and conflicts of interest on appeal if necessary.
