A Florida state judge was lobbying for a seat on the federal bench. After he sided with the president in a defamation case, Donald Trump gave him one.
Ed Artau, now a nominee to be a district court judge in Florida, met with staff in the office of Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott to angle for the nomination less than two weeks after Trump’s election last fall, according to a new Senate disclosure obtained by POLITICO. In the midst of his interviews, Artau was part of a panel of judges that ruled in Trump’s favor in the president’s case against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board.
More corruption and another corrupt piece of shit judge, and it’s another piece of shit corrupt judge from Florida to remain in Florida.
Also, In 1995, Artau was investigated for ethics violations after allegedly advocating for a judicial nominee whose husband had helped secure his appointment to a judicial nominating commission. The governor’s office found he had acted improperly.
