Rep. Elise Stefanik Lodges Complaint Against Judge Who Oversaw Jan. 6, Trump Cases
HuffPost
Stefanik, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, alleged misconduct by Beryl Howell after the judge gave a speech about the 2021 insurrection.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) on Friday filed a complaint and called for an ethics investigation into a federal judge who has overseen multiple cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and former President Donald Trump.
The complaint alleged that U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell engaged in judicial misconduct during a recent speech, which Stefanik described as a “highly inappropriate.”
At a Women’s White Collar Defense Association gala last month, Howell received the Champion Award, which is given to those who have “made a profound impact or achieved significant success in the white collar field while advancing opportunities for women.”
Howell, who has presided over former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s defamation trial, did not name Trump or other Republicans in her speech, but focused on the 2021 insurrection.
“My D.C. judicial colleagues and I regularly see the impact of big lies at the sentencing of hundreds, hundreds of individuals who have been convicted for offense conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, when they disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election at the U.S. Capitol,” Howell said in the speech.
