‘DOUBLE STANDARD:’ NY Ethics Committee Declines to Investigate Democrat

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A watchdog group is appealing after the New York Supreme Court declined to launch an ethics investigation into Gov. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., after Sherrill falsely accused her political opponent of mass killing and launched a campaign to oppose immigration enforcement.

“The New York Attorney Grievance Committee declined to investigate Mikie Sherrill, stating reasons that cut against the most basic of legal principles governing license discipline cases,” James Fitzpatrick, director of the Center to Advance Security in America, told The Daily Signal.

He noted that the grievance committee “has not given the same treatment to Republicans.” The committee investigated former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2021 for alleged false statements after the 2020 presidential election. A New York appeals court disbarred Giuliani in 2024.

“This is seemingly a double standard at issue here: in order to move forward with a complaint against Mikie Sherrill the committee is requiring a conviction, but in the case of Mayor Giuliani, this convenient prerequisite was nowhere to be found,” Fitzpatrick added.

The Attorney Grievance Committee of the New York Supreme Court investigates potential breaches in the Rules of Professional Conduct. CASA filed an ethics complaint against Sherrill in March, and the committee responded with a letter on April 14 declining to investigate. CASA filed an appeal Thursday.

“We don’t make public comment on anything,” a spokesperson for the grievance committee told The Daily Signal.
