Former President Donald Trump is currently battling New York Attorney General Letitia James in a civil matter, with AG James alleging in her suit that the former president and his company overvalued his properties, thus committing fraud. Trump flatly denies the allegations and argues that the investigation is politically motivated rather than being about justice.
Trump has remained very vocal online about the matter, attacking both AG James and the judge in the case for what he perceives as their prejudicial attitudes toward him and the suit being politically motivated, with his attacks on James being particularly sharp and harsh.
Such was the case in a recent post on Truth Social, in which he called her corrupt and highlighted one of the problems with her case, saying, “The Corrupt A.G.’s Fake Trial in New York should be immediately ended. The highly political Judge is being CONNED by the Racist A.G. He made up his mind before learning the facts. My Net Worth is substantially MORE than what is listed on my Financial Statements, and there is a 100% DISCLAIMER CLAUSE on each document. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO FRAUD!”
Continuing, he noted another piece of what he thinks is exculpatory evidence, saying, “Also, the banks are big, strong, and well represented by the best and most prestigious law firms in the Country. There were NO DEFAULTS – ALL LOANS WERE PAID IN FULL, EARLY, OR CURRENT.”
That’s when he turned the dial up to 11 and utterly torched James, noting that New York is a diaster right now, particularly in terms of crime, yet she is focused on what he sees as her political persecution of him rather than cleaning up actual crime in the state.
He said, “They made their maximum, and are “thrilled.” Letitia “Peekaboo” James is a total Wack Job, as MURDERS AND VIOLENT CRIME HIT RECORD HIGHS IN NEW YORK. PEOPLE, BUSINESSES, & TAX REVENUES ARE FLEEING NEW YORK AS OUR POLITICALLY BIASED & INCOMPETENT ATTORNEY GENERAL SITS IN COURT ALL DAY & SEES WHAT A GREAT, & HIGHLY LIQUID, COMPANY I BUILT, WITH SOME OF THE MOST FABULOUS ASSETS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. END THIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE WITCH HUNT, NOW!!!”
AG James has responded to Trump’s criticism largely by calling it “racist” and otherwise not rebutting it. She recently did so when speaking to the press, saying, “Trump’s comments [criticizing N.Y.’s fraud case] were offensive, they were baseless. They were void of any facts and/or any evidence. What they were, were comments that unfortunately fomented violence, comments that I would describe as race-baiting, and comments that unfortunately appeals to the bottom of our humanity.”
AG James went on to vow that she would not let Trump “bully” her, saying, “I will not sit idly by and allow anyone to subvert the law. And lastly, I will not be bullied. So Mr. Trump is no longer here, the Donald Trump show is over. This was nothing more than a political stunt.”
Watch her here:
