From the June 7 edition of CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper:

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): Let me let Caylee come in here now because you're a Harvard Law graduate. Certainly you as a lawyer would not make the claim that Mr. Trump made. How can he be a biased judge if he just made this big ruling in May that was a ruling that Mr. Trump found favorable? 

KAYLEIGH MCENANY: Well there are a lot of rulings in a case and several of them came down favorably. First, why are you prosecuting someone under a RICO statute, a racketeering statute? Some people think it's a historic expansion of the statute. Many other attorneys general have dismissed the case at hand not even gone there. This judge is entertaining the case. I think he should have dismissed it on summary judgment. Not only that he unsealed documents in a politically charged environment and then had to reseal those documents because he forgot to redact information. I have to take issue with David, this statement directly addressed the issue you said it did not address. It said, quote I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial.

[…]

JOHN KING: I'm going to jump in on this one because you're going into a dangerous place here. The onus is not on us to not ask questions. We are all here because of the greatest gift we have, the first amendment. We can ask whatever we want. And if the people out there want to make a judgment that we're jerks, that's their right. That's their right. But Donald Trump cannot say I issued a statement therefore you can no longer ask me about this. That's not the world we live in not for Donald Trump or any candidate. Far left or far right.
