As the chief legal officers of our states, attorneys general possess a tremendous power to shape public opinion and make official decisions that can affect the outcomes of cases.
Regardless of party affiliation, when it comes to exercising the prosecutorial function of our offices, there are certain rules that every attorney general agrees to — and certain lines that should never be crossed.
We should never weaponize our office for political gain, regardless of the situation, even when the sitting president of the United States is a citizen of the state we serve. Unfortunately, some of my colleagues across the aisle have done just that.
During her campaign, New York Attorney General Letitia James threw out numerous vague and baseless allegations, promising to harass and investigate President Trump’s family and businesses that “may be engaged in illegal conduct.” Although Trump was duly elected, she claims he is an illegitimate president. This is nothing less than a gross abuse of her office.
On multiple occasions before and after her election, James accused the president of money-laundering, offering zero evidence. She promised to “definitely sue him,” and since her election, she has made good on that promise. While she has admitted in court that she doesn’t have any evidence of wrongdoing, she has never retracted her public assertions of criminal activity. She has spent much of her time in office on anti-Trump fishing expeditions.
No prosecutor should run on a platform of threatening an innocent American citizen, his family and his private businesses with investigations and lawsuits — all for political gain.
