| Elise Stefanik demands NY AG Letitia James be disbarred over ‘biased' Trump probe |
| 2024-02-14 |
| [NY Post] I like her. She fights House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik on Monday called for New York Attorney General Letitia James to be disbarred or suspended over her "biased investigation" into former President Donald Trump and his business dealings. The New York lawmaker blasted James for violating the Rules of Professional Conduct by "attacking President Trump through extrajudicial statements" during a trial. "In just the first five weeks of the trial that began in October 2023 — before I stopped counting — Ms. James made over 50 highly inappropriate and prejudicial comments on social media," Stefanik wrote in a complaint filed to the New York Committee on Professional Standards. "This complaint respectfully requests that the Attorney Grievance Committee conduct an investigation and issue an immediate interim suspension, disbar Ms. James as an attorney and counselor-at-law, or suspend Ms. James." Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron is currently weighing whether to fine the 77-year-old ex-commander-in-chief a whopping $370 million in the fraud case, after having found Trump liable on one of the main claims he faces. James has said Trump inflated his real estate empire’s net worth by billions to score better loans and insurance terms. His final verdict on the Trump Organization’s business dealings is expected this week. The alleged extrajudicial remarks James made on X during the trial included accusations of illegal conduct, comments undermining the credibility of witnesses and personal attacks — thus violating rules on trial publicity, Stefanik argued. "Indeed, Ms. James’ conduct supports a compelling inference that she is deliberately intending to influence the outcome of the matter by creating a powerful media narrative pre-judging the defendants’ liability," the complaint states. "Ms. James’ extrajudicial statements could influence the judge or appellate judges that hear the comments. These comments also may affect public perception of the judgment and appellate decisions reviewing that judgment, such as by making the public more receptive to an unlawful judgment against President Trump, his family, and his business."
