""Trump has overtly threatened elected officials who seek to hold him accountable for actions that break the law or run afoul of the Constitution, and he's specifically targeting Democratic AGs," DAGA President Sean Rankin said. "We expect the attacks on AG James to escalate, as well as new politically motivated actions against other AGs.""
""they're all guilty as hell.""
New York State Attorney General Letitia James is turning to a national Democratic group to fund her legal defense as prosecutors appointed by President Donald Trump investigate and bring charges against his adversaries. The move signals significant legal exposure and reflects targeted efforts by Trump to influence the Department of Justice. James won a 2023 fraud judgment against Trump that questioned his business claims. Trump has publicly pushed the U.S. Attorney General to bring charges against critics and replaced career prosecutors. The Democratic Attorneys General Association created a fund that James and others can access. Allegations against James involve false statements on loan documents for properties, a referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and the designation of a special prosecutor by Pam Bondi.
