The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York has initiated a federal investigation into Letitia James for possibly violating Donald Trump's civil rights via her civil fraud lawsuit against him. Subpoenas have been issued regarding this case and another against the NRA. In February 2024, James secured a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump, which is under appeal. Additionally, she has been accused of falsifying mortgage documents. An attorney representing James claims the investigation is a politically motivated act of retribution against her role as Attorney General.
"Any weaponization of the justice system should disturb every American. We stand strongly behind our successful litigation against the Trump Organization and the National Rifle Association, and we will continue to stand up for New Yorkers' rights."
"Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job is an attack on the rule of law and a dangerous escalation by this administration."
