Letitia James Denounces Indictment As Politically Motivated, Vows To Persevere

New York Attorney General Letitia James made her first public appearance following her federal indictment, asserting her resolve to oppose the Trump administration's "aggressive policies," according to the Daily Beast. At a rally supporting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, James condemned efforts to suppress truth and retaliate against dissenters. "We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and yes, weaponize justice for political gain," she addressed the crowd. The federal charges against her involve allegations of misrepresenting her Virginia residence to secure better loan conditions. This indictment follows her prominent legal actions against the Trump Organization and the administration's directives. James confronted the attacks, stating, "I know what it feels like to be attacked for just doing your job... I will not bow, I will not break." Rally attendees chanted, “Love you, Tish! We got you!” as she expressed her commitment to justice and her fight against Washington's aggressive policies.
