New York Attorney General vows continued legal action against Trump
New York Attorney General Letitia James signaled her intent to continue legal battles against President Trump during a speech Friday at the SOMOS political conference in Puerto Rico. While not explicitly naming Trump, James stated she would target what she described as “oligarchs” and declared, “I’m excited to get back to work and to use the law — both as a sword and as a shield — and sue baby sue with all of you!”
James, who secured another four years in office this week, has previously initiated over 70 lawsuits against Trump, his administration, and his businesses since assuming office in 2019.
A significant case involved a $454 million civil judgment against Trump’s business for alleged asset inflation, though this decision was later overturned by a state appeals court.
Elsewhere at the conference, Governor Kathy Hochul reaffirmed her commitment to expanding universal childcare across New York State by 2028, highlighting a previous investment of $12 billion, including $4.5 billion this year. She also attempted a joke regarding a family considering a move to Philadelphia, which she quickly retracted after a confused reaction.
Both Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined to address media inquiries following their respective appearances.
