Trump Seeks Recusal Of Judge In Fraud Case Because A Cultist Lawyer Tried To Talk The Judge Out Of Conviction

June 20, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

NBC News reports:

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team filed a motion Thursday calling on New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron to recuse himself from the Trump civil fraud case.

The 24-page filing said Judge Engoron should step aside in light of a state judicial conduct investigation launched last month. The probe is examining whether Engoron engaged in an improper conversation about the case with an expert real estate lawyer three weeks before issuing his $454 million penalty ruling.

That lawyer is Adam Leitman Bailey. “I wanted him to know what I think and why…I really want him to get it right,” Bailey said, repeating that it had been his intention to advise Engoron about the law in the Trump case and why harsh penalties would be bad for business in New York.

The Hill reports:



“I saw him in the corner [at the courthouse] and I told my client, ‘I need to go.’ And I walked over and we started talking. … I wanted him to know what I think and why … I really want him to get it right,” the lawyer, Adam Leitman Bailey, told NBC New York on Feb. 16.

Bailey later said that “the word ‘Donald Trump’” was never mentioned in the conversation, NBC New York reported, but when asked if it was clear they were discussing Trump’s case, the lawyer replied, “Well, obviously we weren’t talking about the Mets.”
