New questions are swirling around New York Attorney General Letitia James as President Donald J. Trump calls for her immediate resignation following explosive revelations about a potentially fraudulent real estate declaration she made in 2023.
According to PJ Media, Letitia James signed a legal document in August 2023 declaring that she intended to use a Brooklyn property as her primary residence—a key condition in many real estate transactions. The move coincided with her giving power of attorney to a relative, Shamice Thompson-Hairston. However, just two months later, James filed a controversial civil fraud lawsuit against President Trump, leading many to question the truth behind her real estate claim.
“Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General IMMEDIATELY,” President Trump declared Sunday on Truth Social. “Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”
Trump Fraud Case Tied to Politically Motivated Legal Action
In March 2024, James’ office secured a $454 million civil judgment against Trump in a case many believe was motivated more by politics than facts. Despite consistently denying any wrongdoing, President Trump posted a $175 million bond on April 1, 2024, avoiding immediate asset seizures by New York state officials. A crucial appeal hearing was held on September 26, 2024, with a final ruling still pending.
Even after winning the 2024 presidential election, Trump’s legal team appealed to James to drop the politically charged lawsuit. According to NBC News, a lawyer from the New York Attorney General’s office firmly rejected the request, stating, “This Office will not stipulate to vacate the final judgment or otherwise seek to dismiss the action.”
Attorney John Sauer, representing President Trump, emphasized that the lawsuit interferes with the president’s ability to lead the country and urged James to prioritize unity over political vendettas.
Letitia James’ History of Targeting the Trump Administration
Letitia James has repeatedly come under fire for her aggressive legal actions against conservatives. Her office has led lawsuits against the Trump administration on issues ranging from COVID-19 education funding to election law challenges, raising concerns that New York’s top legal officer is using her position to advance a personal political agenda rather than serve justice.
This latest controversy—centered on whether James misrepresented her residence in an official property document—has further shaken public confidence. Critics argue the weaponization of the legal system is not just a threat to President Trump but to every law-abiding American.
With President Trump working to restore American greatness, the spotlight now shifts to whether Letitia James can remain in office amid growing ethical questions and deepening partisan distrust.
