A New York appeals court on Wednesday declined another bid by former President Trump to delay his hush money trial for the third time this week.
The former president’s lawyers took aim at three rulings by Judge Juan Merchan: refusing to recuse, not delaying the trial until the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim, and requiring Trump to seek permission before filing new motions before trial.
Trump is using a maneuver under New York state law, known as an Article 78 proceeding, that involves suing the judge over their decisions.
The filings were placed under seal and are not publicly available. The Hill has requested comment from Trump’s lawyers.
