To talk or do anything. the judge was a tyrant. i m willing to do whatever i have to do to save our country and to save our constitution. trace: reporter: so the deadline for posttrial motions is in under two weeks but trump s attorneys indicate one of the reasons for appeal is a perception of merchan s bias. the judge donated $35 to democrats back in 2020, including $15 to then candidate joe biden. merchan s daughter also works for a democratic political campaign firm. but the state commission on judicial conduct already dismissed an ethics complaint about merchan. trump lawyers may also revisit key rulings from merchan during the trial like denying a mistrial motion after salacious testimony from adult film actress stormy daniels. the defense may also challenge the trials overall fairness given it s publicity and trump s status as a celebrity and former president. the prosecution s star witness michael cohen s credibility is also expected to be questioned. so come july 11th, trump faces
