"On August 5, the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York (NDNY) subpoenaed the New York Office of the Attorney General (OAG) for the entire record in two cases: New York v. Trump and New York v. National Rifle Association. The political implications don't need to be spelled out, but of course Trump and his minions did it anyway."
"After Trump was found liable for civil fraud, he and his lawyers brayed for retribution. Future Attorney General Pam Bondi huffed that New York Attorney General Letitia James "needs to be looked at." And Trump, who recently pushed out his own nominee as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia for failing to indict James, called her a "reverse racist" who "illegally" sued the NRA."
Judge Lorna Schofield ordered unsealing of a federal subpoena seeking the New York Attorney General's records. On August 5, the Northern District of New York subpoenaed the OAG for full files in New York v. Trump and New York v. National Rifle Association. The subpoenas prompted claims that the Justice Department sought to pressure or harass Attorney General Letitia James after civil fraud findings against Trump. Trump allies publicly demanded retribution and criticized James. The OAG moved to quash the subpoenas, framing the matter as DOJ weaponization and partisan staffing of US Attorney offices. Courts previously found liability against Trump and the NRA.
