"Elise Stefanik's Ethics Complaint Targets Trump Fraud Trial Judge"

Representative Elise Stefanik, an ally of former President Donald Trump, has filed an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur F. Engoron, who is presiding over Trump's civil fraud trial. Stefanik and other right-wing allies have accused the judge of bias against Trump. The complaint is unlikely to have immediate repercussions in the trial, but it is part of a broader Republican effort to discredit the judge and interfere with the case brought by the New York attorney general. The trial, which is separate from criminal cases against Trump, is currently at its halfway point.
