Donald Trump’s lawyers have asked a judge appointed by former President Bill Clinton to recuse himself from Trump’s lawsuit which targets Hillary along with other Democrats over their role in propagating a conspiracy that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.

The Hill reports:

In a motion filed Monday, Trump attorneys Alina Habba and Peter Ticktin argued that U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks could be biased because former President Clinton tapped him for the court in 1997.

“There is no question that Judge’s Middlebrooks’ impartiality would be questioned by a disinterested observer, fully informed of the facts, due to Judge’s relationship with the Defendant, either, individually, or by the very nature of his appointment to the Federal Bench, by the Defendant’s husband,” their motion said.

“The most important issue is not simply that justice must be done, but also that justice must appear to be done. This could not be more important in a case like the above styled cause, where wrongs in regard to a presidential election are to be redressed,” it added.

A 108-page complaint, filed late last month in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, said the actions of Hillary Clinton and her political allies constituted criminal enterprise under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

The complaint says that Trump has suffered more than $24 million in damages due to Clinton’s false claims.
