"CNN anchor Anderson Cooper sniped at New York Attorney General Letitia James as he recalled her vow to sue Donald Trump and become a pain in his ass just one day after she was appointed in 2018 before looking at any evidence. The comments came Thursday as the CNN panel discussed developments that saw a federal grand jury indict James for bank fraud."
"James, a longtime nemesis of the president, secured a sweeping civil fraud victory against Trump last year, although the financial penalties were later tossed by a New York appeals court. Reacting to the news, James was joined by critics in blasting the move by Trump's Justice Department as weaponization. The president has made no secret of his desire to punish political opponents."
Anderson Cooper criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James for publicly vowing to sue Donald Trump the day after her 2018 election, calling the remark a poor look for a newly elected official who had not reviewed evidence. A federal grand jury later indicted James for bank fraud. James previously secured a civil fraud judgment against Trump, though its financial penalties were overturned by a New York appeals court. Critics described the indictment as political weaponization, while a CNN legal analyst said James’s comments were inappropriate but did not justify a later fraud indictment.
