A bar ethics complaint has been filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly making prejudicial statements about the “Cornell 7” in the days before being appointed special prosecutor to look into criminal charges for the Ivy’s Chi Phi frat members, The Post has learned.
Two days before she was appointed special prosecutor to reopen an investigation into a 2024 alleged gang rape at Cornell University’s Chi Phi house, James posted on social media: “What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.”
“To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand with you,” she wrote in the Sept. 28 post on X.
By showing whose accounts of the drug-fueled night of partying she believed — before even beginning to investigate — James compromised herself, argued the Washington, DC-based National Legal and Policy Center, which filed the complaint.
“It is clear that she must recuse herself from having anything to do with this case to preserve the impartiality and integrity of any investigation and prosecution,” according to the complaint filed in New York State Supreme Court.
James should either recuse herself from the case, or be removed, said the nine-page complaint filed to the court’s Attorney Grievance Committee.
“The violation is flagrant, obvious and therefore shocking,” said legal ethicist Jack Marshall, whose expert witness report was included with the complaint.
“I find it remarkable that the top lawyer in the state of New York could possibly be so unfamiliar with the professional ethics standards of her own state, which have the force of law.”
James’ statement “raises suspicion of a rigged, pre-determined and illicit investigation,” Marshall said.

That’s a resume enhancement in the eyes of the bar association.
hit with bar complaint....
Kamala: That never happened to me. All the staff loved me in those places. 🍷🍸🍹🍺🍷🍸🍹🍺
Sort of like the loudmouth shouting to her cheering audience outside when she was running the first time and vowing she would find something, somehow to bring charges against Donald Trump. "I will be the one who brings him down." (loud cheers).
Admitted she was ready to use lawfare against Trump and try to fit something into being a crime.
It’s New York. Zero chance she’ll be removed.
And no one will really care.
Careful, that’s racist.
“I find it remarkable that the top lawyer in the state of New York could possibly be so unfamiliar with the professional ethics standards of her own state, which have the force of law.”
That’s funny. I don’t find it to be remarkable at all for her.
Yes, but no worries. She’ll be reelected.
Hochul has said the same...Time to impeach...
“I find it remarkable that the top lawyer in the state of New York could possibly be so unfamiliar with the professional ethics standards of her own state, which have the force of law.”
Laws and ethics are for the little people.
I disagree. The Bar can take her off the case...and possibly something more. But I think it takes a felony to get rid of her.
And...didn’t she do the same thing ahead of DJT’s indictment? But that was OK?
This woman needs to be disbarred and removed from ever holding another public office.
She should have been disbarred for her campaign against Trump and her frivolous charges.
James has no ethics, professional or otherwise.
James’ statement “raises suspicion of a rigged, pre-determined and illicit investigation,” Marshall said.
That's the whole point.
She’s a regular Lavrenti Beria... only uglier.
