Investigation Launched into Alleged Improper Advice to Judge in Trump Fraud Case

New York's judicial oversight body probes potential misconduct involving a real estate attorney and Judge Arthur Engoron ahead of a major fraud ruling.

Attorney Adam Leitman Bailey reportedly approached Judge Engoron with unsolicited advice, raising concerns about judicial impartiality.
The interaction occurred shortly before a $454 million judgment against Trump, sparking an investigation by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Bailey, known for controversial remarks in past legal matters, claimed the discussion did not influence the judge's decision.
Engoron's ruling could significantly impact Trump's business operations in New York, barring him from top roles for three years.
The case highlights ongoing tensions and scrutiny surrounding Trump's legal entanglements and their broader political implications.
