Letitia James

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

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, punish dissent − and, yes, weaponize justice for political gain.

I will keep fighting for justice.

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…

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

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 don’t think we should be scared. This is the time that we should stand up and defend our rights and our liberties and defend our democracy and defend the rule of law. We’ve got to push back and not be afraid. There’s more of us than…

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.

He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York state attorney general.

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

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.

His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me—and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president—is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country.

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