In a recent outburst on Truth Social, ex-President Donald Trump leveled serious accusations against New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump claimed that James is collaborating with President Joe Biden’s Justice Department to undermine him as Biden’s principal opponent in the upcoming 2024 presidential race.
Trump faces a major lawsuit initiated by James, seeking $250 million. The lawsuit targets Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and their family business, alleging they inflated their asset values and net worth to deceive lenders and insurers. The Trump family refutes these claims, insisting on their innocence.
James, who first campaigned for the attorney general role in 2018, had openly expressed her intention to initiate criminal proceedings against Trump. Trump’s recent comments on social media coincided with his efforts to overturn a silence order imposed by the trial’s presiding judge, Arthur Engoron.
In a fiery post, Trump shared a video on Friday evening, showing various clips of James criticizing him and vowing to take legal action against him. He labeled her as “the Lunatic A.G.” and accused her of conspiring with “Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ” to politically target him, calling it “Election Interference!”
The 35-second video shared by Trump features an initial clip where a woman, likely speaking before the 2018 election, poses a rhetorical question to James about the significance of individual votes.
Responding with a grin, James mentions “Donald Trump” as a motivation for voting and encourages active participation. Further in the video, James confirms her intent to sue Trump and describes her plan to be a significant annoyance to him. The video also includes James accusing Trump of exploiting New Yorkers for his wealth and emphasizes the need to scrutinize his financial dealings. It ends with her asserting her readiness to confront “this illegitimate president” to protect fundamental rights.
