On Friday, Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York filed a judicial ethics complaint against New York Judge Arthur Engoron regarding his conduct in the civil fraud case of President Donald Trump.
The complaint was based on what she deemed as bizarre behavior on the part of the judge.
“Judge Engoron’s bizarre and biased behavior is making New York’s judicial system a laughingstock. Former Southern District of New York federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who has at times criticized President Trump, recently stated that he views the “whole New York justice system” as “fraudulent.”” Stefanik wrote.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, a proponent of radical Marxism, is seeking $250 million in damages related to an alleged fraud case, as well as the prohibition of President Trump and his sons from operating businesses within the state.
“Americans are sick and tired of the blatant corruption by radical Leftist judges in NY. All New Yorkers must speak out against the dangerous weaponized lawfare against President Trump,” Stefanik said.
Rep. Stefanik provided several examples of Judge Engoron’s clear judicial bias against Trump and overall bizarre behavior in court:
[1] At the start of the trial, Judge Engoron infamously smiled and posed for the cameras.
[2] After the defendant won an appellate ruling against Judge Engoron on the appropriate statute of limitations in this case, the judge simply ignored the ruling.
[3] Judge Engoron entered summary judgment against the defendant before the trial even began, without witnesses, other evidence, and cross-examination. This, despite the fact there’s disputed material evidence–and there’s no victim of the defendant’s supposed fraud. Indeed, as the trial evidence has made clear, the defendant paid back the sophisticated Wall Street banks, on time, in full, with interest, as agreed.
[4] No insurance company paid a penny. And these banks and insurance companies, supposedly defrauded, continue to do business with the defendant. Yet Judge Engoron decreed before trial the defendant somehow committed fraud. Now, the judge is holding a trial–with no jury–to determine how much of Tish James’ requested $250 million in damages–with no victims–he will extract from the defendant.
“How does this not violate the defendant’s Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial?” Stefanik wrote.
Stefanik also said Judge Engoron illegally gagged Trump and his attorneys and quoted Engoron: “We are not here to listen to what you have to say.” He told the defendant’s counsel: “I am not here to hear what he has to say, now sit down!” And Judge Engoron even threatened the defendant’s counsel if he filed a routine motion for a directed verdict: “You better not, Chris!”
The GOP Representative noted that Judge Engoron and his staff are partisan Democrat donors.
“Judge Engoron and his staff are partisan Democrat donors. As recently as 2018, Judge Engoron donated to the Manhattan Democrats[5]–even though Section 100.5 says that judges “shall refrain” from “making a contribution to a political organization.”” she wrote.

ICYMI: Trump Exonerated By Justice Dept. Inspector General After Years-Long Probe
Kick the crook of the bench
About time SOMEONE did something about this blatant corruption of the justice system!
Engoron and many others. Let’s say all liberal judges who’ve ignored the laws of the land with their “opinions”. Chutkan comes to mind for one.
Agree they are supposed to uphold our Laws and the Constitution as Written, any judge politician military police all public servants should be Fired prosecuted, banned for life on any and all public jobs, security clearance cancelled for life they take an oath they break it they are removed for life
I have never experienced seeing a judge of this Inept Behavior on the bench
Ever. He needs Psychological help and should be relieved from his duties as a
judge in any form. The hate for President Trump is what is driving all these
claims against him and not the truth. He is an honest person that does not
have to lie in order to live his life like the Corrupt bidens. If President Trump
does not get re-elected you can say Good-bye to our Country, the United States.
Absolutely.
we a stupid evil looking excuse for a judge, looks like he crawled out of a sewer.
Looks like an evil Star Wars villain like Schumer, Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. Due to recent statements and stands Fettermann has very recently made, I’ve upgraded that weird ogre from a villain to a Jar Jar Binks kinda character.
Engeron needs to be in jail.
Ignorant Engoron’s allegiance is to the liberal democrat ideology not to fair implementation of our laws or equal application of those laws. People like him should never. E judges.
Engoron is an imposter as a judge. It’s doubtful that he knows anything at all about the law and the limits of power placed on the judiciary. He should be dragged off the bench, physically if necessary, fired from his position and never allowed access to a court of law again, WHETHER IN NEW YORK OR ELSEWHERE.
This vile excuse of a human needs Fired Disbarred, banned from any and all public office,,security clearance revoked, all benefits revoked, banned for life on all accounts including government state federal
That is the face of a man wholly familiar with corruption. Most likely lured by the Epstein and Co. “tricks”, whilst being secretly recorded, and now, has no choice but to play his part, or be ruined. The eyes don’t lie. He is as dirty, low down and cheap as they come. Without repentance, this man is ruined for eternity.
EDNGORON & JAMES ARE ON GEORGE SOROS PAYROLL>:
BOTH SHOULD BE IN PRISON>:
The judge is just an old hippie that was placed in that spot to serve ‘The Cause’ when eventually needed. This case, along with all the others against Trump have been planned and plotted out ever since Trump decided to run for POTUS in 2015. These people (DNC, Deep State, RINOS, etc.) do not want ‘outsiders’ involved in national politics. They know that they are violating the Constitution and they don’t care. That fact should scare all Americans, not just Trump supporters.
Trump can’t show any evidence, he cannot speak in court and he’s not allowed a jury. And there isn’t a victim of this so called crime. Even Charles Manson had more rights in court than President Trump. Lets just call him GUILTY so he can appeal to a judge that might have a brain that is in working condition.
He’s not only a partial and prejudiced against Trump, he’s insane and he’s not even trying to hide it like similar judges.
This “judge” is a disgrace to the courts and the judicial system He has grossly abused his authority, and has acted irrationally throughout the trail. This so called “judge” should be removed from this trail, and a mistrial declared.
That worthless pitifully excuse of a Communist Democrat Judge should be deloused, stripped of his license removed from the bench and put on trial for acting like a dictator without a trial like he did to President Trump and jailed.
This is not China you asshole, George Soros and Barack Hussein Obama both should be deported or sent to Gitmo and all assets seized.
Upon conviction:
SEIZE 100% OF ALL ASSETS!
leaving his family penniless after enriching them without regard to the RIGHTS of others should fir nicely in what he is trying to do to the Trump Families.
Strip their Citizenship!
AFTER serving their prison sentences, EXPULSION from the United States for life.
It’s becoming more and more evident that Lady Justice has removed her blindfold and we see equal Justice is dead.
Not only has she removed her blindfold, she’s become a card carrying Democrat!
Know what you do when your home is infested with rats (Democrats) you burn them out. It’s time to remove all these crooked assholes politicians and judges from office. All judges and politicians should be held responsible for their actions they should be allowed to be sued for their own crimes. We need to change that there’s no immunity for crooked judges and politicians that go after American people this will stop all this bogus witch hunts that costs innocent people tons of money and time. You pay to play if their wrong. Start locking these judges and politicians and DOJ & FBI government people up.
Allow citizens to sue government officials for their mistakes and false claims
engmoron is a fool and it showed from the first day, he posed and “aped” for cameras, clearly wanting to make himself the “star” of a made for tv court show!!!!!!!!!!
F==k this sorry ass judge and all the sorry ass scumbag braindead demonRATS.
Until there is strict punishment for violation of the law for both the right and the left there will be no stop to of the criminals that break the law . Without strong detergents there is no incentive to change. “ If you do the crime you need to do the time.”
years ago, i was in a court here in canada,for a friend. the judge was notorious for being hardass, and my friend had a speeding ticket i was to take care of for him, while he was in hospital. needless to say, the judge was not happy with speeders, and made it well known. he went nuts and yelled out the next one with a ticket was going to get 10 years in jail, that next one was me. anyway, the bailiff and clerks looked at each other, made a call, and grabbed him and held him for the sherriff from down in lockup to get there.they took him out, the bailiff said all tickets that day were void and not worry about them, they took the judge to a mental hospital, to where he is to this day. made this judge needs the same treatment.
How many Republican House representatives are there? Why only Rep. Stefanik has the guts to voice out complaints like this? One thing I don’t like about the Republicans is the fact they are getting outsmarted and kicked by the Democrats who seem to be all always united in supporting their causes, like impeaching and torturing President Trump. Republicans need to grow up and band together to fight for their survival!
