A disciplinary committee on Tuesday said it would not act on a complaint by adult entertainment actress Stormy Daniels alleging that one of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers has a conflict of interest due to the attorney’s alleged prior representation of Ms. Daniels.

It came as the latest development in President Trump’s criminal case in New York, in which state prosecutors from Manhattan District Alvin Bragg’s office charged that the former President falsified business records related to hush money paid to multiple people, including Daniels, who allege that Trump had affairs with them. Trump has denied all wrongdoing related to the case and said that the case against him is politically motivated.
