NEW YORK – "New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued the following statement after she was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s office of the Eastern District of Virginia.
“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is 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. The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.
“His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me – and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president – is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country. This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.
“I stand strongly behind my office’s litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence – not politics. Judges have upheld the trial court’s finding that Donald Trump, his company, and his two sons are liable for fraud.
“I am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful – I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.”

The WWBW Press Release provided additional clarity on the core issue regarding why New York Attorney General Letitia James is facing attacks from Trump and his associates!
"Let's be clear about what's happening to AG Letitia James:
She conducted a 2-year investigation based on facts and evidence.
Courts found Trump, his company, and his sons LIABLE FOR FRAUD.
She was doing her job as NY Attorney General.
Trump publicly called her "scum" and demanded her resignation.
He fired a U.S. Attorney who refused to bring charges against her.
He replaced them with someone with NO prosecutorial experience."
This isn't justice. This is retaliation.
When Black women do their jobs with excellence, they face attacks. But AG James isn't backing down, and neither should we.
