Stefanik's Ethics Complaint: A Former Prosecutor's Perspective

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann criticized Rep. Elise Stefanik for filing an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over former President Trump's New York business fraud trial. Weissmann called Stefanik's complaint "irresponsible" and stated that she should know better. Stefanik's complaint alleges bias and judicial intemperance on the part of the judge, echoing arguments made by Trump's legal team. The trial, brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James, aims to strip Trump and his adult sons of their state business licenses and seek at least $250 million in penalties. The trial is ongoing.
