The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s civil trial, Judge Arthur Engoron, has made deeply troubling remarks.
The left-wing judge argued that he can overrule juries based on his emotions when the jury “gets it wrong.”
Engoron holds particularly great power over Trump’s case, as the trial is without a jury. (Poll: Who Should Win the Presidency In 2024? VOTE)
As a judge, there are certain standards you need to abide by. When defending Letitia James’ prosecution of Donald Trump, the judge claimed trump is just a “bad guy” that deserves to be sought after. Saying that is ENOUGH for this judge to be removed from this case! #TheFive pic.twitter.com/8XxYNPi8Pi

If lost, Trump would be facing a loss of no less than $250 million.
Behind closed doors, Engoron has donated over $5,000 to Democrats over the years.
A video currently circulating online also reveals Engoron admitting his use of his own “opinion” when judging cases.
“Now, I’m going to say something controversial even though I’m being taped,” he begins.
“Juries get it wrong a lot — that’s my own opinion. I do only civil trials — personal injury cases, contract disputes — but I’ve had situations where, like, ‘Oh, my — heaven’s sake. How could they have thought that?'”

“Well, I have a tool that I can deal with that. It’s called judgment not withstanding the verdict,” he stated.
“I can say there is no possible way that a reasonable jury would have reached that conclusion. Alright, am I following the law, or am I making the law? OK, I’m following the law.
“I’m an impartial referee, but it’s hard to factor out my own emotions. I have tools,” he argued.
Trump recently came after Engoron, calling the Judge a “democrat” “operative” who is running “a rigged court.”
