Letitia James slams Trump's 'desperate weaponization' of Justice Department after bombshell indictment and claims his only goal is 'political retribution'

Defiant New York Attorney General Letitia James slammed President Donald Trump's 'desperate weaponization' of the Department of Justice following a bombshell indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud.

The attorney general - who has been a major critic of Trump and launched a successful civil lawsuit against him in February 2023 for business fraud - stood tall in a video response to the indictment Thursday evening.

'This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system,' she wrote on X. 

'I am not fearful - I am fearless,' she declared, vowing: 'We will fight these baseless charges aggressively and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.'

In her video, James also accused the president of 'forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.

'These charges are baseless and the president's own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,' she continued. 

The attorney general went on to tell 'leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.' 

James has already gained the support of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who wrote that: 'New Yorkers know @NewYorkStateAG James for her integrity, her independence and her relentless fight for justice.'

'What we're seeing today is nothing less than the weaponization of the Justice Department to punish those who hold the powerful accountable.'

Blaming Trump won’t help... It’s called mortgage fraud... Are you guilty, or not guilty.

My guess is... She’s guilty, which is why people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones... Her glass house... Mortgage fraud.

She and her ilk started it. Turnabout is far play.

So what if it is retribution? You ran on a platform of destroying Trump for absolutely no reason.

Sorry but who was it again who bragged about it being her mission as a state prosecutor to take Trump down?

<< James now faces penalties including up to 30 years in prison per count, up to a $1 million fine on each count and forfeiture of her properties. >>

Hope the corrupt pig gets the max

Sounds vaguely familiar... Wasn’t indicting Trump a weaponization of the Justice system???

Thankfully in that case, the truth of that malicious prosecution was exposed for all to see. Just like the truth of her mortgage fraud will.

“...the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,’ she continued.”

The president is merely quoting the public statements she made as a campaign promise and while she was putting him on trial.
