Judge (Engoron) who ordered Trump to pay $454 million says he was ‘accosted’ by lawyer and won’t recuse himself from case

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.”

Trump’s lawyers asked for the recusal after NBC published an interview with real estate attorney Adam Bailey the day the verdict was rendered. According to the article, Bailey said he “had the ability to speak to [this Court] three weeks ago…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 [about the case] and why … I really want him to get it right.”

Bailey told CNN that he only spoke with Engoron about his September summary judgment decision “because that’s the only thing I discussed with reporters.” NBC said it stood by its story.

Engoron in Thursday’s ruling said he was “accosted” by Bailey while leaving the courthouse one day in February.

The judge described the “90-second incident” was a “nothingburger” from a “landlord-tenant lawyer ranting” and said that he did not base any part of his rulings on what Bailey said.

He’s clearly corrupt but the thing about this guy he knows his ruling is likely to be overturned on appeal. So he’s going to ride this out to the end.

In other words, he based his rulings on what was said in the conversation.

And then he went to his gym to creep on some cute young women some more.

Illegal ex parte meeting. Even if it’s 90 seconds, that’s long enough.

[[“I am supremely confident in my ability to continue to serve, as I always have, impartially,”]]

Which is why his cases keep getting overturned

This man needs to be beaten with a baseball bat until he ends up in the hospital for a couple of months.

This man is vermin, and the right response to this corrupt piece of sh*t is beating him senseless.
