"Attorney General Letitia James of New York is scheduled to appear Monday at a rally to support mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, her first public appearance since she was indicted on federal charges of bank fraud and lying to Congress. Ms. James is expected to blast President Trump and urge voters to turn out on Election Day to vote for the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, the New York Times reports."
"A person close to Ms. James told The Times that she plans to attend Monday's rally, saying she has been humbled by the support she has received. Her campaign has reportedly raised more than $1 million from mostly new donors since she was indicted by the Trump administration last week on charges of defrauding banks for a home loan. At the rally, Mr. Mamdani is expected to outline how he plans to defend the city from threats by Mr. Trump,"
"His spokeswoman, Dora Pekec, said the event will put the "breadth and depth of our coalition" on full display. "In front of thousands of New Yorkers, the campaign will say goodbye to the broken, billionaire-funded status quo and build a future politics where everyone can afford to live a dignified life," she said. Mr. Mamdani, who maintains a double-digit lead over his independent opponent, Andrew M. Cuomo, a former governor of New York, has been one of Ms. James's most vocal defenders since her indictment."
