In my understanding of the law, a judge will recuse himself from a case if he has a personal connection to a person he is to be presiding a court case over. This is to remove any possible conflict of interest. Well apparently, someday, there is supposed to be a case showing up at the Supreme Court that is to decide whether or not Trump is immune from legal consequences stemming from what he did while president. This of course directly effects Trump. Now, three of the Supreme Court Judges were actually appointed, or nominated, by Trump. (Even though Trump's choices had to be approved by the Senate) It seems to me that you can't get much more of a personal connection to somebody a judge may be presiding over than that. After all, they wouldn't even be Supreme Court Judges if not for Trump. Does this mean that when that case goes before the Supreme Court the Judges that were nominated by Trump will recuse themselves from the case? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I suspect that they wont. Which would make it another case of this.
