"James became New York's attorney general in 2019 and began a legal feud with Trump that has persisted. She's battled big tech, opioid manufacturers and the National Rifle Association. But it is the Democrat's barrage of lawsuits against Trump, suing him for fraud and challenging his Republican administration's policies, that has shaped her tenure and drawn his ire. Now, Trump is fighting back."
"James, 66, and her seven siblings grew up in Brooklyn, where she still lives. Her father worked in maintenance and her mother, Nellie, worked in customer service for AT&T. James graduated from Lehman College of the City University of New York and Howard University School of Law. Before entering politics, she was a public defender and an assistant state attorney general."
Letitia James has built a career pursuing corporate and political accountability, including lawsuits against Donald Trump. Her legal actions have targeted big tech, opioid manufacturers, and the National Rifle Association, while fraud lawsuits against Trump have defined her tenure and provoked his ire. After Trump pressed the Justice Department, James was indicted on mortgage fraud charges; she denies wrongdoing and accuses him of weaponizing the criminal justice system for revenge. James grew up in Brooklyn, graduated from Lehman College and Howard University School of Law, worked as a public defender and assistant state attorney general, and served on the City Council and as public advocate.
