She criticized Engoron for smiling and posing for cameras at the start of \u200dthe trial and for \u2064ignoring an appellate ruling in\u2062 favor of the defendant regarding the\u2062 statute of limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik also argued that Engoron entered summary judgment against the defendant before the trial even began, without considering witnesses, \u200bevidence, or cross-examination. She pointed out that there is disputed material evidence and no clear victim \u200cof the defendant&#8217;s\u2064 alleged fraud, as the defendant\u2064 had repaid Wall Street banks as agreed.<\/p>\n<p>In her complaint, Stefanik highlighted \u2064Engoron&#8217;s past\u2064 disparaging comments about Trump and his staff&#8217;s history of donating to Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s defense team is scheduled to present their case before Engoron in the \u200bcoming week.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"author_subscription_pitch\">.author_subscription_pitch \u200cp{margin:5px;}<\/div>\n<p>The post\u200c <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gop-rep-stefanik-files-ethics-complaint-judge-engoron-alleging-bizarre-behavior-anti-trump-bias\/\">GOP Rep Stefanik Files Ethics Complaint Against Judge\u2064 Engoron Alleging\u200b &#8216;Bizarre Behavior&#8217; and Anti-Trump &#8216;Bias&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does Stefanik&#8217;s decision to file this official complaint \u2063impact the perception of the trial&#8217;s fairness, particularly considering her \u200calignment \u2064with the Trump administration<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Sufficient evidence to support the\u200d charges. \u200cStefanik believes that Engoron&#8217;s denial of this \u2063motion was influenced by his bias \u2063against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Stefanik accuses Engoron of displaying &#8220;bizarre \u200cbehavior&#8221; during the trial, suggesting that his actions are further evidence of his \u200canti-Trump bias.
