Justice Juan Merchan began by disposing of Donald Trump’s latest motion to recuse him from the case, saying the former president’s claims of bias or impartiality relied on “innuendo and unsupported speculation.”
“To say these claims are attenuated is an understatement,” Merchan said.
Trump had argued that Merchan’s comments to the press about the justice system generally, his opinion that politicians using Twitter is “unprofessional,” a Tweet critical of Trump that was falsely attributed to his daughter, and his daughter’s work for a consulting firm that has Democratic clients rendered the judge incapable of being fair.
This was Trump’s second failed bid to recuse Merchan.
But surely “Sleepy Joe” wasn’t projection, right? lol
Reminder that this is a criminal trial and not a civil one like the last few that have been in the news.

On Memmy, your comment is several pages long. I spent a good thirty seconds just spam scrolling down and never even got past the first image.
Looks fine on the four other UIs I checked (Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite, LemmyUI). Submit a bug to Memmy devs 🤷♂️
Looks fine on Voyager too.
I’ve had problems similar to this with mobile/ipad though. I can’t tell if it’s random or a specific combo between devices and apps.
