Lawyers for former President Donald Trump dropped two bombshells during a virtual court hearing in Manhattan Thursday: one accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of "prosecutorial misconduct" and another said the former president would testify before a criminal grand jury if he was granted immunity.
The attorney general is engaging in "prosecutorial misconduct that this nation has never seen," Trump's defense lawyer Alina Habba told the judge during the at times contentious hearing, citing numerous instances where James publically criticized Trump.
During her 2018 campaign for attorney general, James called Trump an "illegitimate president" and warned that he "should be scared" of her, his lawyers have complained.
"The only reason she is doing this is because he is a former president, and on the other side of the fence," Habba told the judge of James, who ran as a Democrat.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who promised a ruling by 3 p.m. Thursday, at one point appeared receptive to Habba's argument.
"Do we want to have a society, a country, where someone says, 'I'm going to get this person?' Do we want that?" he asked hypothetically.
Speaking of her pubic statements, he added, "It's arguably a circus that she's done."

Oh God its just too giddy to think of this judge slapping down this corrupt witch.
DJT cannot soften his attacks, or his response to the attacks of others. He has the backing of millions, all of whom see clearly the immoral, unethical, politically motivated war being waged against him.
All for show. The judge is no doubt a Dem and corrupt. He will rule with the corrupt AG.
judge just ruled the Trumps must testify
Won’t change anything unless they counter sue.
P
I think the word “accuse” should be replaced with the word “shows” for a truer lede.
HELP ME. I CANT DECIDE WHICH IS MORE UGLY AND WHICH IS THE STUPIDEST......
New York AG Letitia James
OR
Mayor Eric Adams.
Neither should be in office......the hate they carry is weighed down by the ghetto chip on their shoulders.
Adams is sure ugly......looks like a snake...and acts like one.
James is pure bred mongrel........a real dog.
