Judge Arthur Engoron denies Trump attorney's motion for recusal
The judge who ordered former President Trump to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil fraud trial said he will not step down from the case, despite an accusation by Trump’s attorneys that the judge may have engaged in “prohibited communications” before rendering his decision. That accusation was based on what an attorney with no connection to the case told NBC New York, saying he spoke to the judge and tried to advise him about the law in the Trump case.
