Is Former President Donald Trump's Request for a Mistrial Likely to Succeed?

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has requested a mistrial in the civil fraud case against him and his family, claiming bias from the judge and court staff. However, legal experts say the chances of a mistrial being granted are slim. Trump and his family are being sued for fraudulent business practices by the New York Attorney General's office. The trial is to determine the damages Trump will pay for inflating the value of his assets. In a letter to the judge, the Attorney General's office stated that Trump's mistrial demand lacks merit. Trump's lawyers argue that the judge's gag order and the involvement of his law clerk indicate bias, but legal experts believe the judge has not crossed any lines. Despite Trump's complaints about the fairness of the trial, the experts say that the mistrial request is unlikely to succeed. The case will continue, and the judge will ultimately decide the damages Trump will pay.
