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.'

Because running for office as DA based on racist charges and a promise to find something to charge felonies against Trump wasn’t a “blatant abuse of justice.”
Justus for democrats only.
This was her old house. The indictment.
May be a second one coming on her newer one.
Will be more difficult to say it was a small error if it’s part of a pattern of behavior over the years.
Glad to see this witch go down.
Now do Shiff!
That’s the pot calling the kettle bl… oh, you know the thing.
How about them changing the law so a misdemeanor was now a felony.
How about NY changing the statute of limitations to encompass what Trump’s lawyers did.
How about a separate felony charge for each of the 34 payments.
I hope Leticia gets bankrupted and her name will merely be a skid mark in history.
Hey Leticia, kiss your daddy husband good night for us. 💋
And one more thing in case she is here :
🖕
Yeah well Letitia, you will have your day in court. Unless you decide to plead out.
My Gawd did she say that with a straight face?!
Dims are funny, and by funny I mean evil
Hang the Bitch. She was a major pain in the side of “justice.”
If not a hanging.....
She needs to be cornered and made to apologize to President Trump.
Each apology should be for every dollar that she tried to squeeze from DJT.
She is a horrible woman. Give her no quarter.
Seems to me that somebody needs a gag order.

Orange looks good on dark melanin.
Calling Letitia James “low IQ” doesn’t really do her stupidity justice.
New Yorkers have no standards at all when it comes to voting.
I really think she is a nutjob. Something ain’t right upstairs.
Some people just aren’t ready to lead. They can’t get beyond the color of their own skin.
So, then, what was your fake, politicized prosecution?
Great find! Spot on!
She may have found a new weight loss program:
It’s called the
“5-10 Plan”
and if there are no fines — it’s FREE!
Letitia James = Stooge
Karma is a bitch
and so is ‘Tish!
