Arpaio's lawyers want a federal judge to recuse himself from all future proceedings in a racial-profiling case. Attorney Charles Cooper says U.S. District Judge Murray Snow "has engaged in improper private, off-the-record meetings and communications about the merits of the case with the court-appointed monitor" investigating the sheriff's office. The motion filed Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016, also seeks removal of the monitor. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
