Trump, 77, filed a motion for mistrial Wednesday, claiming there was “overwhelming” bias by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron in his fraud case and that the judge’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield, has had improper sway on the proceedings.
Greenfield has been seen whispering into the judge’s ear and passing him notes throughout the seven weeks of trial so far.
