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.”
