judge
july 2024
CNN  —  The judge who found Donald Trump liable for fraud and ordered the former president to pay $454 million said he will not recuse himself from the case.  Trump asked Judge Arthur Engoron to step aside from the case, which is on appeal, alleging he engaged in “prohibited communications” with a real estate lawyer about the case before his decision was rendered earlier this year.  
“I am supremely confident in my ability to continue to serve, as I always have, impartially,” Engoron wrote in an order Thursday. The judge said that over three years into the litigation, his recusal would result in “immense prejudice.” * https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/25/politics/engoron-recusal-response-trump-civil-case/index.html
cit. of cnn: “I did not initiate, welcome, encourage, engage in, or learn from much less enjoy, Bailey’s tirade. I did not base any part of any of my rulings on it, as Bailey has outlandishly, mistakenly, and defamatorily claimed,” Engoron wrote.
The judge also said he was unaware of any investigation by the Commission on Judicial Conduct saying he has not been contacted by the review group.
