A judge appointed to a New York City panel investigating the handling of a prominent doctor's defamation lawsuit has been accused of failing to take action against virulent antisemitism and racism within a nonprofit organization. The allegations against Judge Laura Drager come as she serves on the panel alongside Dr. Afua Hagan, a prominent doctor who has accused a local hospital of defamation. Dr. Hagan's lawsuit centers on a 2020 incident in which she was accused of making racist comments, claims she vehemently denies. Critics are now questioning whether Judge Drager's own inaction on similar issues at a nonprofit where she previously worked undermines her ability to impartially investigate Dr. Hagan's case.
