Arthur Engoron

Appearing on MSNBC just hours after Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) announced she was filing an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the $250 million Trump Organization financial fraud suit in Manhattan, a Florida prosecutor told host Ana Cabrera the suit was meritless and that Stefanik just wants a shot at being the former president's running mate in 2024.

After host Cabrera brought up the hours-old filing, Dave Aronberg, the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, immediately shot it down

On Friday morning, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) attempted to intercede on Donald Trump's behalf by filing an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron who is overseeing a $250 million financial fraud trial against the Trump Organization and its officers.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, the New York Republican announced, "I just filed an official judicial complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron for his inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance in New York’s disgraceful lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization."

New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ordered Trump attorney Chris Kise to apologize after he launched a verbal attack on prosecutors from the New York Attorney General's Office.

At one point during Donald Trump's fraud trial on Thursday, Kise argued that the lead counsel for the attorney general should "check the internet" for job openings.

Donald Trump could very well take the stand again in his New York fraud trial, and a legal expert explained why the former president might be willing take that risk.

The former president testified Monday in the $250 million fraud lawsuit brought by state attorney general Letitia James, and his three eldest children have also taken the witness stand in the case, but MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin told "Morning Joe" that Trump and his sons may be called again by defense attorneys.

Donald Trump's lawyers spent Wednesday morning objecting to the Attorney General's Office asking to enter several documents into evidence -- but one of them was their own.

As witness Ivanka Trump took the stand, prosecutors asked her several questions about conversations she had or emails she exchanged with Trump Organization executives.

Donald Trump's lawyers spent the first hour of the Wednesday trial objecting so frequently that it irritated the judge overseeing the New York Attorney General's civil fraud suit against their client.

During Wednesday's hearing, lawyer Chris Kise complained that the information contained in documents being shown to witness Ivanka Trump was irrelevant to the case, MSNBC's Lindsey Reiser reported outside the courtroom.

Donald Trump howled in rage hours before his eldest daughter Ivanka was scheduled to take the stand in his $250 million fraud trial.

Both of her brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, spent more than a day on the witness stand last week and her father antagonized Judge Arthur Engoron during his testimony Monday, but an appeals court dismissed Ivanka Trump as a defendant in June, saying the claims against her were too old.
