"Rep. Stefanik Accuses Judge of Bias in Trump's Civil Fraud Trial"

Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House GOP conference chair, has filed a judicial ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, accusing him of bias and "weaponized lawfare" against former President Donald Trump in the New York civil fraud case. Stefanik called on the judge to recuse himself, citing concerns over Trump's due process rights. Engoron is presiding over the $250 million lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which accuses Trump of inflating asset values. Stefanik alleges that Engoron illegally gagged Trump's protected political speech and violated political giving rules. She argues that his bias threatens the constitutional rights of all Americans and calls for corrective action.
