NY AG Letitia James seeks to dismiss a mortgage fraud case, calling it politically driven retaliation by Trump.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has asked a federal judge to dismiss a mortgage fraud case against her, calling it politically motivated and driven by personal animus from former President Donald Trump. Her legal team argues the prosecution stems from Trump’s repeated derogatory attacks on her, including calling her “crooked” and “scum,” in response to her lawsuit against him and his companies. They claim the case is retaliation for her official duties, citing selective prosecution and the appointment of a prosecutor with no experience. James, who has pleaded not guilty, maintains her innocence and says the case is part of a broader pattern of targeting political critics. The motion remains under review.
