Lawyers for the Republican presidential candidate on November 5 have again speculated that the daughter of New York court judge Juan Merchan is connected to the Democratic Party of President Joe Biden and vice-pres. and candidate Kamala Harris, and that this “raised the perception of her conflict of interest.”
Judge Merchan – who had referred his personal case of a request for self-incrimination to the magistrates’ ethics committee – considers in a judgment handed down on Wednesday that “the applicant’s arguments are nothing less than -statement without content that has already been asked.”
For these reasons, the request is “again denied”.
On his Truth Social platform, the billionaire and tribune again attacked Judge Merchan, whom he accused of “rejecting and manipulating the vote” of his voters in the next election on November 5 .
Donald Trump was found guilty on May 30 by Manhattan Criminal Court of 34 counts of falsifying accounting documents, which were intended to conceal, just before he won the presidential election in the November 2016, a payment of $130,000 to film actor X to maintain a sexual relationship she said she had to have with him in 2006, which the interested party has always denied.
Since then the first American president to be convicted of a crime has continued to use quibbles to reverse this decision.
His sentence – with a very theoretical risk of imprisonment – should have been announced on July 11, but it was postponed thanks to the Supreme Court of the United States, with a conservative majority, which on July 1 expanded the scope of immunity criminal president. .
The former tenant of the White House (2017-2021) and who dreams of returning there therefore believes that his trial should only be postponed and simply.
But Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who brought Mr Trump to trial, said in late July there was “no immunity” in the case of the US president’s “unofficial acts”.
Judge Merchan must make a decision on September 16 and if he rejects the request for a trial, he will pronounce sentence two days later, on the 18th.
