Congresswoman Elise Stefanik files a judicial ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York. She alleges "bizarre behavior" and bias, citing the judge's valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million and his gag orders against Trump's legal team. The hosts contrast this report with the earlier NPR analysis of the trial.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg faced criticism for calling Donald Trump a "faker" and expressing concern over a potential Trump presidency. Trump responded by calling for her resignation, stating her "mind is shot." Legal analysts, including Jeffrey Toobin, noted that such political comments are unprecedented for a sitting justice and could lead to recusal issues in future election-related cases.
