Former President Donald Trump plans to file a second motion to recuse the judge in charge of his New York City hush money case.

Several references to “recusal” are mentioned in a 13-page opposition brief filed by Trump’s attorneys late Monday. The brief itself largely aims to refute claims made by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that Trump has violated a limited gag order issued in the case by New York Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan in late March.

“Along with this opposition brief, President Trump is simultaneously submitting a pre-motion letter seeking leave to file a recusal motion based on changed circumstances and newly discovered evidence,” a footnote appended to the first instance of “recusal” explains.
