Federal Prosecutor Rejects Charges Against NY AG Letitia James Amid Trump's Criticism

President Donald Trump has strongly criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of costing the state hundreds of billions of dollars in lost business and labeling her a 'complete and total disaster' and 'scum.' He claims that no company or individual wants to operate in New York due to her leadership, and predicts that the newly established Texas Stock Exchange will take away significant business from New York's financial markets. These attacks follow allegations that James falsified mortgage documents, though a senior federal prosecutor in Virginia has privately indicated there is no probable cause to pursue criminal charges against her. Trump's criticisms also reference James' failed gubernatorial run and her ongoing investigations targeting him and his allies. Despite mounting pressure, legal officials appear reluctant to move forward with charges against James. Trump’s campaign against James is part of a broader political strategy targeting his opponents.
