New York’s Attorney Grievance Committee for the First Department moves deliberately on ethics complaints against licensed attorneys, including U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, whose active registration shows no disciplinary record. Multiple filings since mid-2026 allege conflicts of interest, court-order violations tied to Epstein files releases, and conduct in the Trump v. IRS settlement, with one federal judge directing findings to the bar. These matters remain at the investigative stage, and formal suspension or disbarment rulings typically require hearings, appeals, and court approval that extend well beyond a single calendar year. Traders reflect this procedural reality in the 97.3% “No” consensus. A sudden emergency order or accelerated committee action before year-end remains possible but would depart from established timelines.
