DOJ Opens Investigation Into NY AG James Over Trump Suit
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding the $454 million civil fraud case she won against former President Donald Trump. The case was filed before Trump's election and accused him of inflating the value of his assets to obtain better loan terms and insurance coverage. The DOJ's investigation aims to determine whether James' office violated any federal laws in its pursuit of the case against Trump. The probe is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which is independent from the Attorney General's office. The investigation raises questions about the impartiality of the case against Trump and the potential overreach of the Attorney General's office. It remains to be seen whether the DOJ's probe will uncover any wrongdoing or have an impact on the original civil fraud case.
