Lawyers for former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein filed a motion Wednesday seeking recusal of Judge James Burke from Weinstein’s trial, which began Monday in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Weinstein, who is charged with rape and predatory sexual assault in New York, has said he is not guilty of all charges. The recusal motion was filed after jury selection ended for the day Wednesday, and Burke is not expected to respond before court resumes Thursday.
