Lawyers for former President Donald Trump made a last-minute move to sue the judge presiding over his criminal hush money case on Monday, according to records.
The lawsuit was not available to the public, but online records showed Trump attorney Todd Blanche was filing an action againstSupreme Court Justice Juan Merchan. Related paperwork is sealed for the time being, according to the online docket.

Adam Schiff .
