Dems Introduce ‘Bailout’ For NY AG Letitia James Amid Fraud Allegations https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/ne...o-fund-ny-ag-letitia-james-legal-defense-cmc/ Taxpayers could be forced to fund New York Attorney General Letitia James’ legal bills stemming from real estate fraud allegations levied by a Trump Administration official, according to a report from the New York Post. Democrats in the state legislature are expected to sign off on a provision allowing certain official to use up to $10 million in funds to cover “any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred,” even if the conduct in question is directly related to their state employment.

Lawmakers are expected to soon vote on a number of budget proposals that will be made public as early as Wednesday as the legislature works to pass next year’s fiscal plan.

Legal Analyst Reacts To Letitia James’ Latest Legal Defense https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/le...letitia-james-latest-legal-defense-karma-cmc/ George Washington Law professor Jonathan Turley commented on the “breathtaking irony” in New York Attorney General Letitia James latest legal defense while speaking with Fox Business on Thursday. While speaking with “The Evening Edit,” Turley discussed what he views as a major double standard in James’ denial of wrongdoing and the lack of leniency her office showed towards President Trump in the highly controversial civil fraud case she brought against both him and the Trump organization. James — who secured a $450 million judgement after arguing the president falsified real estate documents — has denied allegations that she submitted fraudulent real estate documents and misrepresented the value of her own properties.
