However, the judge ruled that her statements were made during \u2064official judicial proceedings and did not demonstrate \u200bthe necessary\u2062 bias to disqualify her.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump filed\u200d a motion to dismiss\u200b the case on \u200dOct. 5, asserting absolute immunity as\u200d a U.S. president.
