CNN — Lawyers for Donald Trump have filed another appeal in the hush money case to challenge the order by the trial’s judge denying him from arguing he has presidential immunity.

Trump’s attorneys also are challenging Judge Juan Merchan’s “refusal” to recuse himself from the trial and a previous ruling related to how dockets are made publicly. In a brief two-page notice of petition filed on Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers alleged the judge exceeded his authority in those rulings and have asked the appeals court to hold a hearing on May 6.

The court filing posted on the public docket does not indicate that Trump is seeking an emergency hearing before the appeals court to delay the trial in this notice of petition. After CNN reviewed the petition on the docket, the filing was sealed.

The filings are the latest in a blitz to throw sand in the gears of the trial. Trump’s lawyers earlier this week asked the appeals court to stop the trial over pretrial publicity and the gag order. Both times, the requests to take emergency steps to delay the trial were swiftly denied.

1. Well if those lawyer throw enough shit at the wall, they are hoping some will stick.

38 months and counting (includes foot dragging)

4. Does your clock stop on April 15th?

2. Surely, every innocent defendant files multiple appeals and briefs to avoid trial.

3. No emergency appeal means one thing...

He is hoping to have the appeal stick during trial while jeopardy is attached.

Possibly by scotus.

That would end the case since he couldn't be tried twice.

6. Yeah

This is a chess game. It just can't be that easy for him. I thought all these manufactured issues had been ruled on. If all you need to do is get an appeal in for jeopardy to attach, how is that justice? If the trial goes, maybe it can be concluded before the appeal is taken up, if it is.

This is disgusting.

5. He wasn't President then so why would he have

immunity from this case, even if his SC butt kissers rule he had immunity while President? Really wish there was a limit on how many times he can appeal.
