Letitia James brought a civil lawsuit against former President Trump last year..

George Soros, two of his family members and other megadonors helped propel the political career of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing former President Trump..

James, a Democrat, brought a civil lawsuit against Trump last year

...

New York City Judge Arthur Engoron is presiding over Trump's civil fraud trial, which stemmed from James' lawsuit. Trump has blasted James for bringing the litigation, for the trial not having a jury and for Engoron handling the case.

The former president has also dismissed Engoron as a "Democrat" and an "operative." He also aimed at James, labeling her a "radical-left attorney general."

...

In recent years, James has received backing from numerous left-wing donors who have also spent considerable amounts on anti-Trump efforts in the past

...

George Soros has pushed at least $20,000 to James' candidacy, including two $10,000 donations in 2021 and 2022. The 93-year-old billionaire has poured millions of dollars into efforts backing Biden and opposing Trump, and his Open Society Foundations has bankrolled a plethora of left-wing organizations that have worked on endeavors ...

Soros, however, was not the only member of the family to throw money at James. His son, Jonathan Soros, gave her campaign at least $10,000 between 2018 and 2022, while Jonathan's wife, Jennifer Allan Soros, added $4,000 in 2022.

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, who helped rehabilitate convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's image and visited his infamous island, is one of the biggest backers of the New York attorney general.

....

Other notable contributors to James include director Spike Lee, former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt and billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer.

Hopefully, Republicans are investigating her background. It is probable that she has broken the law along the line to get such prominence.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is black trash - it’s NOT a surprise Soros would fund her.

They’re no judges presiding over Trump’s trials only hired snipers.

I still don’t understand how the gov’t can bring this to court. It was a private transaction where both sides agreed to the terms. The lender was satisfied with the collateral claim and must have performed its due diligence or they would not have agreed to the loan. Trump also signed the loan agreement so he was satisfied with the terms. How does the gov’t have the right to step in to this transaction? What are the legal arguments for doing so?

Another example why wealth sovereigns should not be permitted to be involved in government nor politics.

Yup, Soros & Co. pushed and funded this affirmative action hack. She never would have graduated from dog grooming school otherwise.

Sounds logical, James doesn’t have the brains nor the backbone to do this on her own. The flakey Judge is going along for his notoriety.

NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND REAL LAWS AGAINST WHAT TRUMP DID.

IF 5 guys play poker all night in a private game-—they are NOT harming the public.

BANKS GOT PAID-—PRINCIPLE AND INTEREST

SINCE WHEN DO BANKS WHINE ABOUT GETTING PAID INTEREST ON A LOAN????

ALL OF THIS ENTIRE SET OF “CHARGES” IS TO DESTROY TRUMP & HIS SUCCESSES. NOTHING MORE.
