Recently, New York Attorney General Letitia James has received considerable criticism from a resurfaced 2018 video highlighting her obvious agenda to go after then-President Donald Trump. In light of this footage, civil rights attorney Leo Terrell sounded off on Letitia James and the recent civil fraud trial against Trump.
During a Monday Fox News appearance with host Mark Levin, the civil rights lawyer offered these critical remarks about James. Monday was also Trump’s deadline to pay the exorbitant $454 million civil fraud penalty. However, a New York appellate court dropped the fine to $175 million. The ruling adds ten additional days for Trump to pay the new amount.
Host Mark Levin claimed the bar, if it were functioning properly, should hold Letitia James accountable for her conduct. Levin suggested James should be “condemned” and “sanctioned” for her demonstrated bias toward prosecuting Donald Trump.
“Bankrupt him under the phony law and phony prosecutor. I don’t know, when I was a young attorney if you were running for office to be the attorney general of the state and you said you’re going to target Donald Trump, ‘I’m going to get Donald Trump,’ … it would be brought to the bar,” the host stated. The bar would’ve brought it up itself, they would have condemned it, and they would have sanctioned that attorney.
Terrell accused James of being a “racist” with a bias toward prosecuting former president Trump, citing resurfaced footage of James from 2018, where she detailed her agenda to go after the former president if she were to get elected.
“Look, let me be clear, there is no legal profession in New York. What you just articulated, I will be as clear as possible. Letitia James is a racist. She targeted Trump. I submit to the following evidence — the videotape of her claiming that if she gets into office, she will go after Trump,” Terrell said.
“And then she colludes with a left-wing progressive judge who doesn’t know anything about real estate, and again, they are trying to prevent Trump from running for office. They are trying to destroy his livelihood. They are trying to take everything he built up and take it away,” he added.
Terrell continued sounding off on James and the case brought against Trump, calling for the ruling to be appealed. Instead of justice, he labeled the legal measures taken against the former president to be “political warfare.”
“To try to discourage him from running for office, I find the conduct of the New York bar offensive. It is disgusting. What should happen is that the case should be appealed, and it will be appealed, and it should be reversed because that was not justice. It is political warfare,” the attorney said.

Back in late 2018, then-President Trump criticized Letitia James for running on a “GET TRUMP” agenda in a post on X. “….In any event, it goes on and on & the new AG, who is now being replaced by yet another AG (who openly campaigned on a GET TRUMP agenda), does little else but rant, rave & politic against me. Will never be treated fairly by these people – a total double standard of “justice,”” Trump wrote.
