Judge James Robart disclosed trading Boeing stock in his wife’s IRA during his oversight of a $72 million verdict against the company, raising ethics concerns.
Judge Robart stated, 'There could be some market movement, but it's not going to influence my decision,' emphasizing his commitment to impartiality despite the circumstances.
Robart characterized the stock trades as a mistake, asserting he acted quickly to correct it by selling the stocks, though he did not notify involved attorneys.
The financial activities of federal judges have been increasingly scrutinized, particularly following recent accusations against other justices regarding ethics violations.
