The Federalist: Judge Fails To Recuse Himself In Trump Spending Freeze Case

Critics argue this presents a clear conflict of interest.
The case, initiated by a coalition of states challenging the constitutionality of the funding freeze, has raised concerns about judicial impartiality. McConnell's ruling to unfreeze funds has sparked allegations of bias, as his nonprofit stands to benefit from continued federal financial support.
