Letitia James

The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.

These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

We will always fight to ensure that New York gets the resources we need to support our law enforcement and keep people safe.

A court has once again affirmed that this administration cannot punish New York by arbitrarily wiping out critical security resources and defunding law enforcement that keeps riders safe.

This ruling protecting critical counterterrorism funding is a victory for every New Yorker who rides our subways, buses, and commuter rails.

A defining moment in our history.

We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy, the erosion of our system of government.

We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and weaponize justice for political gain.

You come for me, you got to come through all of us! Every single – all of us. We’re all in this together.

I will not bow! I will not break! I will not bend! I will not capitulate! I will not give in! I will not give up!

We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy, the erosion of our system of government.

I stand on solid rock and I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend.

We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and weaponize justice for political gain.

I know what it feels like to be attacked for just doing your job. But I also know what it feels like to overcome adversity, and so I stand on solid rock, and I will not bow. I will not break. I will not bend. I will not capitulate. I won’t…

I will keep fighting for New Yorkers. I will keep fighting the aggressive policies of Washington, D.C., and I will not stop. I won't give up and I won't give in.

I will keep fighting for justice.

I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend.

You come for me, you gotta come for all of us!

This, my friends, is a defining moment in our history. Let us stand together to defend our rights, to protect every safeguard, every institution, every immigrant, every norm, and every rule of law.

We see powerful voices trying to silence truth, punish dissent − and, yes, weaponize justice for political gain.

The president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.

I am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful, I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper.

I stand strongly behind my office’s litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence—not politics.
