Personal and undisclosed friendships can be a basis for disqualification. A judge may have to recuse even where there isn’t an immediate family member in the case. I’m not sure if this relationship would have required recusal. But the problem here is that the judge failed to disclose. If the information had been disclosed, Trump could have filed a recusal motion. This is a big deal, in my view.

Just more grounds for appeal.
