DOJ Probes NY AG Over Trump, NRA Cases

Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed New York Attorney General Letitia James for records related to her civil fraud case against Donald Trump and her corruption case against the National Rifle Association, as part of a Department of Justice investigation into whether James' office violated the civil rights of Trump or NRA executives during these prosecutions. James and her attorney, Abbe D. Lowell, have condemned the investigation as politically motivated retribution and an improper weaponization of the justice system. James previously secured a multimillion-dollar judgment against Trump, which is under appeal, and successfully sued the NRA, resulting in penalties and mandated reforms. The Justice Department and U.S. attorney’s office have declined to comment. James’ team asserts they are prepared to defend their actions with facts and law. The probe highlights escalating tensions between James and Trump, with mutual accusations of legal power abuse for political purposes.
