"Judge Engoron's Defense Against Trump's Lawyers' Bias Claims"
Judge Arthur Engoron overseeing Donald Trump's civil fraud trial issued a scathing rebuke of Trump's attorneys, who pushed back against the judge's request for details related to a report about former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg. Engoron criticized the attorneys for questioning his impartiality and bringing up unrelated matters, stating that he takes his obligation to find the facts and determine the truth seriously. Legal experts noted that Trump's legal team's aggressive tactics may be aimed at creating a record for appeal, while Engoron is tasked with deciding what evidence counts and how to weigh it as the judge in the case.
