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.

Trump's Attempt to Halt New York Fraud Trial Met with Resistance

Lawyers for Donald Trump may seek a pause in his ongoing $250 million business fraud trial in New York and a stay of the judge's order related to dissolving Trump corporate entities. The trial, brought by the New York Attorney General, alleges that Trump and his company misstated property values to obtain better loan terms and tax advantages. The judge had issued a summary judgment finding that the defendants engaged in business fraud and canceled business certificates held by them. The judge also ordered the appointment of an independent receiver to manage the dissolution of the businesses. Trump may have to testify at some point in the trial, which is set to last until late December.

The witness list, obtained by The Daily Beast, reveals the extensive scope of the investigation, which aims to dismantle Trump's corporate empire and expose years of alleged business fraud. The list includes Trump's longtime bankers, such as Rosemary Vrablic from Deutsche Bank, as well as employees from Cushman and Wakefield and insurance companies who were allegedly involved in fraudulent activities. The trial, scheduled to run for up to 56 days starting in October, will be a significant disruption to Trump's political campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
