In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”

That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.

The righteous #LetitiaJames, NY AG told hospitals "they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments."

I hope this means that NY Langone Health will either get sued for denying on 2.2.25 gender-affirming care to 2 12 year-olds or will reverse their loathsome decision.

HuffPost · Letitia James Tells Hospitals To Continue Transgender Care Despite Trump OrderBy AP

Never stop fighting.

Via Kyle Griffin:

New York AG #LetitiaJames says she'll take legal action against the #Trump admin for freezing federal aid.

"My office will be taking imminent legal action against this administration's unconstitutional pause on federal funding."

"We won't sit idly by while this administration harms our families."

The judge ordered #Trump & his co-defendants to pay the state nearly $364M in "#illGottenGains" & interest — from before & after the ruling — that has accrued to >$120M. Since the case is a #civil matter, Trump does not face the prospect of prison time.

Trump was not present for Thursday's arguments. His attorney & a lawyer for #NYAG #LetitiaJames, whose office brought the case, argued before the justices in a Manhattan courtroom.

Lately, she has used her platform to lob overtly #racist & #sexist attacks at #KamalaHarris, the same kind of schlock #Trump shares on social media. In one such example from last week, #LauraLoomer described #Harris, NYAG #LetitiaJames & Fulton County DA #FaniWillis as “meritless DEI Shaniquas.”

…Despite #losing the only #election she has ever run in, she has publicly criticized Trump’s campaign ops, so Team Trump might be placating her — or simply blunting her online kvetching….

#Trump #Bond Firm Should Offer Proof of Resources, #NewYork Says

#NYAG #LetitiaJames asked an appeals court to require Trump to prove within 10 days that the company providing his $175M bond in the state’s #civil #fraud case is financially capable of delivering if his #legal challenges fail.

The request was made in a filing Thurs by the state.

'Actually not true': Fox News destroys Trump claim that fraud bond is 'unprecedented'

Fox News host Eric Shawn pointed out that Donald Trump's claim that his New York fraud bond is unprecedented was simply "not true."

During an interview with former federal prosecutor Alex Little, Shawn noted that Trump had repeatedly made the claim about the $545 million bond.

"We've also heard there's a lot of talk about this is unprecedented amount of money," Shawn explained on Sunday. "This has never happened before. But that's actually not true."

"This is from Letitia James, the attorney general's own court papers on the show to right now," he continued. "There have been bigger bonds in the history book from one billion dollars to one and a half billion dollars. That was a Carnegie Mellon patent case."

I have the greatest admiration for #LetitiaJames, New York Attorney General. She has repeatedly held Trump and his businesses or foundation accountable to the same laws everyone else is. I applaud her intelligence and her courage. Some reporting on the financial and political situation Trump now faces due to her success. wapo.st/4cqzXeL (gift access).

'Next up — property seizures': Experts analyze 'unbankable' Trump’s $464 million bond crisis

Donald Trump’s attorneys in court documents say the ex-president has been unable to secure a bond for the full $464 million judgment against him in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil business fraud case against the ex-president, reportedly a billionaire who last year said he has $400 million in cash.

“In an April 2023 deposition for the fraud case, Trump said, ‘We have a lot of cash. I believe we have substantially in excess of $400 million in cash, which is a lot for a developer. Developers usually don’t have cash. They have assets, not cash. We have, I believe, $400-plus and going up very substantially every month,'” The Atlantic reported earlier this month.

Trump’s attorneys tell the court they have spent “countless hours negotiating with one of the largest insurance companies in the world,” NBC News reports, and, “obtaining an appeal bond in the full amount” …. ‘is not possible under the circumstances presented.” They also note they approached 30 “surety” companies through four brokers and were unsuccessful.

#Trump & #TrumpOrganization must post a bond for the full amt by next wk in order to stop #NYAG #LetitiaJames from being able to collect while he appeals. They asked an appeals court to step in & said Mon they haven’t been able to get a #bond.

"Defendants’ ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is 'a practical impossibility. These diligent efforts have included approaching about 30 surety companies through 4 separate brokers” the filing said.
