The Radical Left is clearly doing everything they can to get at Trump. But Trump is not giving up so easily.
And his attorneys have handed him a major win in the NY case.
In a significant move, attorneys representing former President Donald Trump have filed a motion to remove New York State Judge Arthur Engoron from overseeing the ongoing civil case brought against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
This development marks another chapter in the contentious legal battle between Trump and the state of New York, a case that has drawn national attention and scrutiny.
The motion, submitted on Monday, alleges that Judge Engoron has demonstrated clear bias against Trump throughout the proceedings.
Trump’s legal team contends that Engoron’s rulings and comments during the case have consistently favored the prosecution, raising serious concerns about his impartiality.
The attorneys argue that Engoron’s behavior has compromised Trump’s right to a fair trial, a cornerstone of the American justice system.
The New York Code of Judicial Conduct exists to ensure that litigants are afforded a fair and impartial trial. Justice Engoron's communications with Attorney Adam Leitman Bailey regarding the merits of this case, however, directly violate that code and demonstrate that Judge…

According to the motion, Engoron has made several prejudicial statements, both in court and in written opinions, that indicate a preconceived notion of Trump’s guilt.
Trump’s lawyers highlight instances where Engoron allegedly disregarded standard legal procedures and exhibited a hostile attitude towards the defense.
They claim these actions reflect a deep-seated bias that disqualifies Engoron from continuing to preside over the case.
The civil case against Trump, initiated by Attorney General Letitia James, accuses him of inflating the value of his assets on financial statements provided to banks and insurance companies.
These allegations, if proven, could result in severe financial penalties and restrictions on Trump’s business operations in New York.
James’ investigation, which has been ongoing for several years, has been a point of contention for many Americans, who view it as a politically motivated witch hunt.
The former president has consistently denied any wrongdoing, characterizing the case as an attempt by Democratic officials to undermine his political influence and legacy.
The motion to remove Judge Engoron adds another layer of complexity to the already high-stakes legal battle.
If successful, it could delay proceedings and potentially lead to a more favorable outcome for Trump.
However, the motion itself is not guaranteed to succeed, as it requires convincing evidence of bias and misconduct.
From a political perspective, the motion underscores the deeply polarized nature of the case.
Trump’s supporters see the legal actions against him as part of a broader effort by the left to discredit and destroy his political career.
They argue that the legal system is being weaponized against him, a claim that resonates with a significant portion of the Republican base.
In a statement, Trump’s legal team emphasized their commitment to ensuring a fair trial for their client.
“We believe that Judge Engoron’s conduct has demonstrated a clear and unacceptable bias against President Trump,” the statement read.
“We are seeking his removal to uphold the fundamental principles of justice and ensure that President Trump receives a fair and impartial trial.”
The attorneys also expressed confidence in their case, asserting that the allegations brought by the Attorney General are baseless and politically motivated.
They vowed to continue fighting vigorously to defend Trump’s rights and reputation.
