Donald Trump argued that the $250 million civil fraud trial against him is “tainted” by “overwhelming” bias by the Manhattan judge deciding his fate as he made a motion for a mistrial on Wednesday. • “In this case the evidence of apparent and actual bias is tangible and overwhelming,” Trump lawyers Clifford Robert and Alina Habba wrote in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday morning just before the 28th day of trial began. • “Such evidence, coupled with an unprecedented departure from standard judicial procedure, has tainted these proceedings and a mistrial is warranted,” the papers continued. • Trump, 77, claims the trial has been been rife with biased rulings from Justice Arthur Engoron and has unfairly included “co-judging” by his principle law clerk, Allison Greenfield. • He alleges both the judge and Greenfield have a history of political bias against him, including Engoron sending news articles about the Trump case multiple times in a college alumni newsletter and Greenfield making political contributions totaling $3,900 to groups that supported New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the suit against him, the court papers state. • Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/11/15/news/do... • #donaldtrump #trial #nyc #court • The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more. • Subscribe to New York Post Sports: / nypostsports • Catch the latest news here: https://nypost.com/ • Follow The New York Post on: • Twitter - / nypost • Facebook - / nypost
