Judge Questions Legality Trump-Appointed Prosecutor Investigating New York AG James
New York Attorney General Letitia James is challenging the legitimacy of the U.S. Attorney appointed by President Trump in Albany, aiming to block a Justice Department investigation into her office's civil fraud case against President Trump, particularly relating to subpoenas tied to investigations against Trump and the NRA. James and Trump have a long history of legal battles, including a lawsuit where James accused Trump of inflating his net worth, which resulted in a massive monetary penalty that was later partially overturned but affirmed for fraud. A federal judge ordered the release of grand jury materials concerning Lindsey Halligan, a Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney whose appointment is being questioned as potentially unconstitutional, potentially invalidating the indictment against James. Additionally, the mortgage fraud charges against James, alleging she lied on financial documents to get a better loan rate, face scrutiny as experts claim the loan agreement permitted her actions, undermining the prosecution's case. This legal conflict illustrates the ongoing feud between James and President Trump, with James continuing to file lawsuits against his administration despite the personal legal challenges she faces. The unfolding judicial review of the prosecutor's appointment and the mortgage fraud case could significantly impact the credibility and future of the charges against James.
