Former President Donald Trump attacked New York Attorney General Letitia James, after the AG moved to request a judge to hold Trump in contempt of court over alleged failures to comply with a court order.
James is seeking to fine Trump $10,000 a day until the documents are handed over.
Trump’s statement slams James for her mishandling of New York.
“With the horrible Subway Shootings and Violent Crime in New York being at an all-time high, where people are afraid to walk the streets, the racist and highly partisan Attorney General of New York State, failed Gubernatorial candidate Letitia James, should focus her efforts on saving the State of New York and ending its reputation as a Crime Capital of the World, instead of spending millions of dollars and utilizing a large portion of her office is going after Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization (for many years!), who have probably done more for New York than virtually any other person or group, including employing many wonderful people and paying millions and millions of dollars in taxes.”
“This never-ending Witch Hunt must stop. We don’t need racist political hacks going after good, hardworking people for highly partisan political gain.”The people of our Country see right through it all, and won’t take this Radical Left ‘sickness’ anymore. Make New York Great Again!” he concluded.
Trump also released a statement on Easter, wishing the AG a healthy holiday “despite the fact that she will continue to drive business out of New York while at the same time keeping crime, death, and destruction in New York.”
James has responded by saying that Trump was “entitled to defend himself in court.”
“However,” a statement says “this attorney general will not be bullied or intimidated by the former president,” the statement continued.
“The courts have ruled time and time again that the office’s investigation into Mr. Trump and his financial dealings is legitimate and lawful, and Attorney General James will continue to follow the facts and the law wherever they may lead. Nothing will dissuade her from pursuing justice,” her statement concluded.
