法官胡安·梅尔曼否认了特朗普的说法第二次回避动议周一，一个上诉法院驳回了他的努力，上周回避的努力使案件推迟。
“我们有一个非常矛盾，非常矛盾的法官。他不应该参与这个案子。在他的车队离开法院之前，特朗普在没有证据的情况下说:“他正在这条路上狂奔，他正在为民主党尽可能多的做事情。”。

Trump hush money trial: First 7 jurors seated, arguments could start next week
Former President Donald Trump ison trialin New York City, where he is facing felony charges related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. It marks the first time in history that a former U.S. president has been tried on criminal charges.
Trump last Aprilpleaded not guiltyto a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with ahush money paymenthis then-attorney Michael Cohen made to Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.
Jury selection could take up to two weeks, with the entire trial expected to last between six and eight weeks.Trump vows to continue fight against judge
Former President Donald Trump vowed to continue his effort to have the judge overseeing his case removed, as he exited the courtroom after a lengthy trial day.
"We are going to continue our fight against this judge," Trump told reporters, acknowledging he is having a "hard time with the New York state system."
Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump'ssecond recusal motionon Monday, and an appellate court denied his effort to have the case delayed over the recusal effort last week.
"We have a very conflicted, highly conflicted judge. He shouldn't be on the case. He's rushing this trail, and he's doing as much as he can for the Democrats," Trump said, without evidence, before his motorcade departed the courthouse.
Day ends with 7 jurors selected, 11 more to go
After seating the seventh juror in the case, Judge Juan Merchan reiterated his hope that opening statements could commence Monday if the remaining jurors are selected by then.
Until then, "put the case out of your mind," Merchan told the seventh juror. "Don't think about it, don't talk about it."
The judge then concluded the proceedings for the day. Court will be in recess on Wednesday, and jury selection will resume Thursday with the fresh batch of 96 prospective jurors.
With seven jurors now seated, 11 more jurors -- six of them alternates -- remain to be chosen.
Judge swears in 7th juror
Judge Juan Merchan has sworn in and seated a seventh juror, selecting the North Carolina-born civil litigator who now resides on the Upper East Side, after neither party challenged his selection.
Prosecutors used two preemptory strikes on the real estate developer and former police photographer, who had both made it to the final round of questioning.
Merchan excused them both before swearing in the seventh juror.
