Attorneys representing President-elect Donald Trump are seeking to get rid of the judge currently presiding over the defamation case brought against him by members of the Central Park Five over comments made about them during his lone presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this year.

Trump on Thursday evening filed a motion in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania requesting the “immediate recusal” of Senior U.S. District Judge Michael M. Baylson due to his “personal relationship” with Shanin Specter, the lead attorney representing Antron Brown, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam.
