On Valentine's Day, New York Attorney General Letitia James reaffirmed her commitment to challenging the Trump administration by leading a coalition of state attorneys general. Together, they filed a lawsuit to prevent Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive Treasury records, arguing it poses risks to both government payments and cybersecurity. James's office has been active since Trump's recent inauguration, filing multiple suits against Trump's policies, including challenges to birthright citizenship bans and federal funding freezes. Following her previous legal victories against Trump, she remains focused on protecting citizens' rights and the Constitutional order.
Standing in front of gilded doors of the Southern District of New York courthouse on Valentine's Day, New York Attorney General Letitia James made clear that she is not afraid to once again take up the mantle of resistance warrior against the Trump administration. This time James has taken a leading role in a movement of state attorneys general to counter President Trump's attempts to seize the levers of power in Washington.
James filed a case with 11 other attorneys general to block staff members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive Treasury Department records and payment systems, a move James argues could give Musk the control to illegally stop government payments while also risking the cybersecurity of the U.S. Treasury Department.
