The New York judge overseeing one of former President Donald Trump's legal battles admitted in 2015 that he could not "factor out emotions" entirely in his rulings.
"Am I following the law, or am I making the law? OK, I'm following law. I'm an impartial referee. But it's hard to factor out my own emotions," Engoron said.One, he said, includes going to extreme lengths to prove that a case seemingly similar in nature to another is actually different, thereby separating it from attached legal precedence.
For example, he said, "maybe the education of somebody who's supposedly entered into a contract would decide whether the contract was binding." "You're not allowed to waste time," Engoron told Trump's legal team before preventing them from asking Bender's opinion on each year of the financial statements he filed on behalf of the organization.
