In a significant development, the New York Attorney General’s office, led by Letitia James, has announced that they will not drop the civil fraud case against President-elect Donald Trump. Despite Trump’s impending inauguration, James’ office remains committed to pursuing the case, which involves a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump.
The office has issued a statement reaffirming their commitment to the case, citing that presidents do not have immunity from civil lawsuits arising from unofficial conduct. This means that Trump’s presidency will not shield him from the civil fraud case.
The case, which was brought by James’ office, alleges that Trump engaged in fraudulent business practices. The Supreme Court of New York County has already handed down a judgment against Trump, ordering him to pay $454 million.
Trump’s legal team has been working to dismiss the case, but James’ office remains resolute in their pursuit of justice. The appeals court decision is pending, and the outcome is uncertain.
One thing is clear, however: this case is far from over. The New York Attorney General’s office is determined to hold Trump accountable for his actions, and the outcome of this case will be closely watched by the nation.
