I'm sorry, this is where we're at, De Niro continued, while holding his hand to his chest. It's what she's saying, This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him.' And God bless her for that. He added ICE agents or those ICE guys, as De Niro put it better not mess with James.

None of this, on either side, is healthy for the republic, continuing: Ms. James accused Mr. Trump of civil fraud, while giving no evidence that his sophisticated lenders suffered any losses. Nevertheless, the trial judge imposed a financial penalty of roughly half a billion dollars. When that was invalidated in August, Ms. James promised to appeal to the state's highest court to protect the rights and interests of New Yorkers.

If it were President Biden and he had sent a direct message that was made public directing his attorney general to prosecute someone, you guys would have been calling for impeachment, she said to GOP strategist Lance Trover.

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.

Driving the news: The indictment comes after U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, left his post under pressure from Trump after he failed to bring fraud charges against James and former FBI Director James Comey, who was indicted last month after Siebert's resignation. Zoom out: Trump has repeatedly slammed James and her office, claiming that James was on a "witch hunt" and calling her "a totally corrupt politician" who should resign.

We'll still employ New York residents, and we'll still continue to do mortgage loans in New York, of course, the source continued. But we are going to eliminate our physical presence. And to the extent that we have leases, we are going to be subleasing those, a source close to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) told the news outlet.

We are shutting down the two New York offices for Fannie and Freddie as a result of Letitia James' corrupt and dangerous business practices in the state,

The replacement of Siebert as U.S. attorney for the prestigious Eastern District of Virginia office comes amid a push by Trump administration officials to indict James, a perceived adversary of the president who has successfully sued him for fraud. President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he wanted Siebert "out" and multiple people familiar with the matter later told the AP that Siebert had informed his colleagues of his plan to resign from the position.

The day before, ABC News reported that Trump officials had informed Siebert of the president's intention to fire him. The president was reportedly leaning on Siebert to bring charges against James after the administration accused her of falsely claiming her house in Virginia as her primary residence despite being legally required to live in New York as the state's attorney general.

Ed Martin expected to be the U.S. Attorney in D.C. in this administration. Unfortunately, even the Republican-controlled Senate found the January 6 cheerleader too irredeemably stupid to trust with safety scissors, let alone one of the most important prosecutorial offices in the country. While Trump made up new rules to keep nominees like Alina Habba in office, that wasn't political capital the president was willing to spend on Martin.

Ed Martin, the director of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group, urged New York Attorney General Letitia James to resign as an act of good faith amid a mortgage fraud investigation.

A famine is unfolding in Gaza before the eyes of the world, and a coalition of multiracial, multiethnic, and multifaith elected officials is calling for immediate action to address this humanitarian catastrophe.
