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
“Dave, is there any weight to this?” the MSNBC host prompted.
“No,” he quickly replied. “The reason why she’s doing this is because she wants to be vice president, and it’s embarrassing what they do to try to get in the good graces of their leader. This will go nowhere.”
“So you don’t see the judge having made any errors in giving any credence to this?” Cabrera asked.
“No, no, no. There will be an appeal, and the appeal will be based on what Trump will call a bias of the judge, but the judge did not step over the line,” the attorney replied. “Yeah, there were a couple of snarky comments here or there, but what Elise Stefanik is doing is trying to please the leader of the MAGA movement.”
“She’s trying so hard to be like them, and wants to be vice president and, quite frankly, her sycophancy is embarrassing,” he added.
