Raskin calls for Alito to recuse himself from Trump case

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., urged Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from any matters involving President-elect Donald Trump, citing a recent phone call between them. Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency request to block his sentencing in a hush money case, just hours after the call with Alito.
Alito claimed the call was about recommending a former clerk for a job, denying any discussion of Trump’s legal matters. Raskin criticized Alito for this conversation, suggesting it raises questions about judicial ethics and impartiality regarding Trump’s cases.
