The Trump administration has initiated federal investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James for potential civil rights violations against Trump. The Department of Justice’s move follows subpoenas sent to James's office related to her fraud case against Trump, where he was ordered to pay half a billion dollars. This unusual action by a Trump loyalist in Albany reflects ongoing tensions between Trump and James, who campaigned to investigate him. Critics describe the probe as a blatant example of political retribution orchestrated by the administration, undermining the rule of law.
Any federal probe into Trump's fraud case would represent the 'most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president's political retribution campaign.'
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.
