New York Attorney General Letitia James delivered an unhinged press conference in which she appeared to threaten President-Elect Trump after his historic victory on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo here we are. We\u2019ve studied their platforms. We\u2019ve identified certain possibilities, fact patterns. We\u2019ve created contingency plans. So no matter what the next administration throws at us, we\u2019re ready,\u201d a visibly shaken James told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York as the governor outlined. So despite what has happened on the national stage, we will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge, or retribution, protect and our most vulnerable and marginalized amongst us. Because it is my sworn duty and responsibility to lead that fight, working with the governor of this great state, Kathy Hochul.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cThis is not the time to be fearful, New York, but faithful and steadfast, knowing that I as the Attorney General along with my entire team, we are guardians of the law. And we are prepared, my friends, to fight back<\/p>\n
James campaigned on prosecuting and \u201cconvicting\u201d former President Donald Trump and ultimately did so with a highly controversial civil fraud case. The former president was initially fined $100 million after a Democrat judge accused him of inflating the price of his Mar-a-Lago state, even though loans on the property were paid back in full, with interest.The frivolous case has been widely condemned by legal and real estate experts and is expected to be tossed out on appeal.<\/p>\n
Fox News legal analyst referred to James\u2019 unhinged press conference as one of the \u201cmost distasteful\u201d speeches ever delivered by an elected official in response to an electoral defeat. \u201cAnd Letitia James has been this the entire time. She has done everything in her power to destroy Donald Trump, she failed. Do you know how I know? Because Donald Trump won,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
