Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) filed a judicial complaint against the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, accusing him of issuing an “illegal” gag order against a candidate running in the presidential elections.
On Tuesday, the State of New York Court of Appeals dismissed President Trump’s appeal against a gag order related to his civil fraud trial in New York. The order was initially imposed by Justice Arthur Engoron on Oct. 3 after the former president accused a top clerk with the judge of being politically biased. The order prohibits the former president from making public statements about the judge’s staff. On Friday, Ms. Stefanik filed a judicial complaint against Judge Engoron with the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
