Letitia James argues that financial crimes should be treated seriously and equally, regardless of the perpetrator's status.

This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control.
This administration's unprecedented attack on New York is another political distraction.
Across the country, states are already deep into preparations for the 2026 elections. Now, at the last moment, the federal government is attempting to meddle in those preparations and potentially threaten countless Americans’ right to vote.
New York has the sovereign right to pass laws that protect public safety and transparency for all New Yorkers.
