Trump’s demand to stop hush money trial denied by appeals court
The appeals court has denied Donald Trump's request to have Justice Juan Merchan recused from the Manhattan hush money trial, Law360's Stewart Bishop reported Tuesday morning.
Trump has also demanded that the trial be paused because he is awaiting a ruling from the Supreme Court on his "presidential immunity" claims. That too was denied.
Trump faces 34 felony counts in Manhattan surrounding a so-called hush money agreement with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors say he paid her to keep quiet about a sexual relationship they had before the 2016 election.

Trump claimed Merchan was biased against him because the judge's daughter works for Democratic campaigns.
Merchan asked a judicial ethics board to examine the issue last year, and it was ruled that everything was above board. Still, Trump appealed his refusal of recuse.
Nixon lawyer explains what’s keeping him ‘on the edge of his seat’ in hush money case
The general public already knows a lot about the prosecution's case against Donald Trump in the criminal hush money cover-up case, but there's one detail that is keeping former Richard Nixon White House counsel John Dean "on the edge of his seat."
Dean, who recently highlighted a case that he said proves Trump has "no criminal immunity" when it comes to his actions as president, appeared on CNN Newsroom Live on Saturday and was asked about the case involving allegedly falsified records and an adult film star.
Dean noted that tabloid publisher David Pecker "was a good witness" and that it was "an attention-grabbing week for the jury and the public."

Dean goes on to say that there are a lot of documents involved in the case, and that we know what many of them are already.
What we "don't know," according to Dean, is "if they have or do not have information or witnesses or documents that directly link Donald Trump to the falsification of the documents or whether that's going to be something that has to be inferred by really overwhelming evidence that there's no other way it could have happened other than from his allowing it to happen."
"That's a thinner case. If they have a direct witness or they have direct evidence, that's going to be a powerful case," he added. "So, this is what's keeping me on the edge of my seat as I watch what unfolds."
