An expanded hush-money gag bars attacks on the judge's daughter, a Democratic campaign consultant.
On Tuesday, Trump found a way around the gag, attacking the daughter in a legal filing instead.
AdvertisementDonald Trump has found a work-around for a newly-expanded gag order that bars him from attacking the Democratic campaign-consultant daughter of his hush-money judge: attacking the daughter through legal filings instead.
Manhattan prosecutors did not immediately respond to the recusal request, but have called Trump's attacks on the judge's family members "dangerous" and "reprehensible."
"This Court and the Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics have already determined that such a claim provides no basis for recusal," prosecutors countered on Tuesday night.
