Justice Juan M. Merchan faces the daunting task of presiding over Donald J. Trump's trial, navigating the storm of attacks on the legal system and the judge's integrity.
Donald J. Trump's upcoming trial represents the first prosecution of a former U.S president, ushering in a period of intense scrutiny and unprecedented challenges for the judiciary.
Justice Merchan, known for his no-nonsense approach, may reject Trump's recusal request, having already admonished his lawyers and imposed a gag order to shield key figures from vitriol.
Trump's relentless assault on the judiciary underlines years of animosity towards the legal system, amplified by his political ascendancy and mounting legal troubles, facing multiple criminal indictments across different jurisdictions.
