Crooked AG Refuses To Leave Trump Alone

This is just crazy and they keep claiming it isn’t personal. What a joke.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has made it clear that she will not drop the civil fraud case against President-elect Donald Trump, despite his calls to dismiss the suit for the “greater good of the country.” James, a staunch liberal, has insisted that no one, including a sitting president, is exempt from facing civil litigation for actions unrelated to their official duties.

This ongoing legal battle centers around allegations of fraud involving Trump, his family, and his businesses. James’ office initially secured a civil fraud judgment against Trump, ordering him to pay a hefty $454 million in damages. Trump, however, has appealed the ruling, and recent statements from judges on the New York appeals court suggest they may be considering reversing the judgment entirely.

Despite these legal developments, James is pushing ahead with the case, rejecting Trump’s request to drop it. Her office argues that a president does not enjoy immunity from civil lawsuits stemming from personal or business conduct, particularly when such actions are not connected to official presidential duties. The New York Attorney General’s team also emphasized that the ongoing case is unrelated to Trump’s upcoming inauguration, asserting that the judgment would not hinder his ability to fulfill his duties as president.

James has further maintained that her office will continue pursuing the case and will await the appeal court’s final decision before taking any additional steps. However, she made it clear that the civil fraud lawsuit would not interfere with Trump’s ability to assume office. This marks another chapter in the ongoing battle between President-elect Trump and liberal forces in New York, signaling that the legal challenges against him are far from over, even as he prepares to take office.

For Republicans, this legal warfare underscores the persistent attempts to undermine the will of voters and discredit Trump, even as he is poised to lead the nation. It’s yet another example of how Democrats are using the legal system as a political weapon against the President-elect.
