Letitia James, the current New York AG, and a Democrat, is resolute in pursuing justice, particularly in prominent cases involving ex-President Donald Trump.
From the outset of her tenure in 2019, James made it clear that she would hold Trump accountable for his actions.
Letitia James’ Legal Battles and Investigations
One of James’ major battles has been investigating and taking legal action against Trump and his administration. This includes lawsuits concerning immigration and environmental policies, as well as the scrutiny of Trump’s charitable foundation, resulting in a substantial fine.
James also exposed deceptive practices related to asset valuation and net worth, leading to a recent ruling affirming fraud.
This legal victory could potentially shake the foundations of Trump’s real estate empire, putting prized properties like Trump Tower at risk. Trump, a staunch Republican, has repeatedly criticized James, dismissing her actions as politically motivated.

James’ Battle for Accountability
Aside from her confrontations with Trump, James has displayed her resolve in other significant cases. In 2021, she spearheaded an investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, revealing disturbing allegations of sexual harassment. This investigation ultimately contributed to Cuomo’s fall from grace within the Democratic party.
Furthermore, James has taken on the powerful National Rifle Association, accusing its leadership of financial mismanagement. This case, ongoing since 2020, underscores her dedication to upholding accountability, even when facing powerful interest groups.
Before becoming the attorney general, James served as New York City Public Advocate and in the City Council. Her commitment to public service and justice is evident from her extensive career in law and government.
In 2018, she made history by becoming the first Black woman elected to statewide office in New York, solidifying her position as a trailblazer.
With her resolute approach to the law, Letitia James continues to be a formidable force in the realm of justice, taking on powerful figures and standing up for the values she holds dear.
